| - In a world of secret superheroes who protect mankind unknowingly, Phillip and his friends - the Ables - must overcome more than villains if they are to defeat the growing evil threatening humanity. \"I did have fantastic hearing, mostly by virtue of being blind. But that couldn't actually mean that he's trying to tell me I have superpowers, right? Because that would be ridiculous.\" It wasn't \"the talk\" he expected, Phillip Sallinger's dad has just told him he's a custodian - a guardian - and his genetically inherited power is telekinesis. Phillip, a 12-year-old boy who is blind, learns that he will attend a superhero high school in order to develop and control his abilities. He is beyond excited to begin school until he discovers he's been assigned to a \"special ed\" class for disabled empowered kids. Immediately, Phillip feels like an outsider. Bullied, threatened, and betrayed, Phillip and his friends ban together - calling themselves the Ables - to find ways to evolve their talents and overcome their disabilities, and are the first to identify the looming sinister forces that threaten the world. As vital custodians disappear and the custodian leadership is halted by indecision, a mysterious and powerful figure taunts Phillip. The enemy is poised to strike, but what if the next one who does all, the multi-gifted custodian predicted to come, is one of the Ables?
