Sixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised him--the
fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the world's population. Desperately
he searches for a place where the cult can't get their hands on him or more importantly on
the bioweapon they infected him with. But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction
Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center affectionately known
as the ALC. The ALC's leader Nick is gorgeous autistic and a deadly shot and he knows
Benji's darkest secret: the cult's bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to
wipe humanity from the earth once and for all. Still Nick offers Benji shelter among his
ragtag group of queer teens as long as Benji can control the monster and use its power to
defend the ALC. Eager to belong Benji accepts Nick's terms... until he discovers the ALC's
mysterious leader has a hidden agenda and more than a few secrets of his own--Provided by
