Set in an alternate present day, one percent of children are born savants with special powers. Called “brilliants,” they are capable of exceptional things. A federal agent uses his skills to become a master hunter of terrorists, pursues a savant terrorist who intends to provoke civil war.

A young woman named Rachel survives as a scavenger in a ruined, dangerous city of the near future. The city is littered with discarded experiments from the Company — a bio-tech firm now seemingly derelict. From one of her scavenging missions, Rachel brings home Borne, who is little more than a green lump, but exudes a strange charisma. And yet, little as she understands what or who Borne may be, she cannot give him up, even as Borne begins to grow and change in unexpected ways.
