Abilities don't come with capes-they come with hunters.
John is a celebrity secretly dating his bodyguard, sleeping with his co-star, and trying to control his abnormal ability to affect arousal. People like him are only rumors to the public, but when one is kidnapped for experimentation, the risk of being pulled out of the closet-in more ways than one for John-becomes reality.
Against his boyfriend's wishes, John calls in his ex-an empath with a trail of bodies-to free their kin and shut down the experiments for good. Planning the rescue would go smoother if he wasn't still in love with her, if his boyfriend didn't know that, and if his ex could stop killing people. Their love triangle is splitting along the seams, which doesn't begin to encompass his public friends-with-benefits arrangement with his co-star.
To make things worse, John's the reason the doctor is running the experiments. The two of them have a dark, complicated history and if it leaks to the public, John will be responsible for the entire world discovering their kind. If he can protect his people, maybe he'll find redemption... or maybe his ex will add him to her list of victims.
