description: Rafe Derouet used to be a world class British figure skater competing against his arch rival flamboyant American Louis Hayes. A catastrophic knee injury ended his career and now all he can do is look on from the sidelines commentating where he used to be a star. He hates Louis and wants nothing more than to see his nemesis go down in a blaze of failure. Then mysterious men in black with guns take over a press meet trying to arrest Louis awakening something dangerous in their target and setting in motion events they cannot control. Most shocking of all Rafe finds out Louis can literally read his mind. Dragged into a murky world of government agents and x-files by one of those x-files Rafe finds his world view completely changing. And along the way his hatred for Louis proves to be something else entirely. Now Rafe just needs to survive so he can decide what to do about it.
