In one horrific instant, it’s all taken away from him—along with the family he loves. Jeff Carey disappears…and in his place appears a figure that inspires not adulation, but terror—a revenge-driven vigilante who seeks justice at any price. But the path to vengeance only leads to greater questions – and the terrible secret behind his powers…
