Magneto meets Jackie Brown in this nightmarish vision of the future. Victor Vale and Eli Ever were once best friends, then enemies, then corpses. Now, Victor is back, but his power is fluctuating. Eli is imprisoned, biding his time. As they circle each other once more, a new power rises: Marcella Riggins, a woman who died and came back with the ability to melt anything she touches, and she is determined to bring the city of Merit to its knees.
