Meet Preston Kills, 20-year-old tattoo artist from Coney Island, Brooklyn. Preston has it all, he's handsome, smart and at thirteen was granted superpowers by an enigmatic figure calling itself Herod. Unfortunately, things aren't always what they seem. Preston's power--the ability to see the final moments before and after a person's death--is made worse by the fact that no one with his condition has lived past their 21st birthday. Adding to his problems is his brother Robert, a homicide cop, who has built a career by exploiting his little brother's power.

Meet Mickey Rinaldi, a sexy, lethal and driven FBI agent with secrets of her own. Mickey is searching for answers to the Herod riddle at any cost. She tracks down super-powered teens hoping to solve the mystery of why these powers are killing people.

From their explosive meeting in the Second Skin Tattoo Shop, to following the trail of a serial killer, to the terrifying events in an abandoned psych ward in upstate New York, Mikey and Preston must come to terms with love, loss and the hope of surviving the lethal condition known as 21 Down.
