In
1969 Andy McGee and Vicky Tomlinson participate in a drug experiment run by a
veiled government agency known as The Shop. One year later they marry. Two years
after that their little girl, Charlie, sets her teddy bear on fire...by looking
at it.
Now that Charlie is eight, she doesn't start fires anymore. Her
parents have taught her to control her pyrokinesis, the ability to set anything
- toys, clothes, even people - aflame.
But The Shop knows about and wants
this pigtailed "ultimate weapon." Shop agents set out to hunt down Charlie
and her father in a ruthless and terrifying chase that ranges from the streets
of New York to the backwoods of Vermont. And once they get her they plan to use
Charlie's capacity for love to force her into developing a power as horrifyingly
destructive as it is seductive. What they don't take into account is that even
a child can know the pleasure of the whip hand and the satisfaction of revenge.
