"You'll see, it'll be … better." The piercing, green eyes of the witch, crinkled in an all too infrequent smile. The little hunched person looked up from serving breakfast.

Hans; works in a watch factory in Zurich, Switzerland, who doesn't have enough time to do all that he might wish to do. Well, now he does. Danny Trump; an American, who works as a fast-food children's clown, lives a daily lie. How would it be if people were forced to tell the truth? He's about to find out. Caleb Walker; a tour guide in Valdez, Alaska, is bored with all the white that surrounds his world, if only he had the power to change the colour of things, that would be so cool. The Bureau Of Regional & Internationally Negotiated Governmental policy, (B.O.R.I.N.G.) located in Strasbourg is concerned, people are popping up having strange powers. And worst of all: 'THE BIG BOSS IS NOT HAPPY'…
