This could have been a good T.V. series, 15 March 2002
Author: mack3175 from Metairie, Louisiana

This had all the good elements for a good T.V. show. The story line sounds a little like Smallville and Roswell. So why was it not a series? The story about a young man with special powers. On the run from a government. And tries to find why he is so different. All the questions never got answered.
