There's even a private security force run by Barrington Technology (BarTech) and a nightly curfew for all residents.On Nica's first day at school, she meets Jackson Winters and finds out he went from school superstar to living ghost after his girlfriend disappeared a few months ago. When Nica follows him out after curfew one night, they both witness a mysterious green flash—and the next morning the power has gone out and all the birds are dead.But secrets are well and alive, and as Nica and some of her friends discover they now have abilities best described as "super, " they also realize that Barrington might not be so safe.
