Full Description
Mission Impossible meets X-Men—with a twist: You only have 60 seconds to save the day.
Currently being considered for a major Hollywood production.
U.S. Marine Daniel Hayes returns from the Middle East in a wheelchair. The only survivor of his team, he's haunted by more than his physical scars. His survivor's guilt keeps him trapped on the porch of his childhood home, watching the rust belt crumble around him.
In Africa, Dr. Christian Chase's once-fearless hands are now useless. Blinded in a rebel ambush, she replays the life she couldn't save as if torturing herself with endless flashbacks could change the past.
In Ukraine, kickboxer Zoya Zynchenko wakes in a cold hospital bed. Her family gone, her legs paralyzed, a missile strike leaving her a forgotten victim of war.
And bounty hunter Max "Jaxx" Jaquez hides his crippling pain behind false bravado. Drowning in guilt for letting a dangerous predator escape, he hates himself more than the criminal he failed to apprehend.
Enter Norman Blackwell, a brilliant but reclusive biotech engineer. His cutting-edge treatment transforms these broken heroes into something extraordinary. Hayes gains superhuman strength. Chase's gaze becomes deadly. Zoya moves with lightning reflexes. Jaxx's intellect explodes into genius.
But there's a cost: These powers last for only 60 seconds at a time, then pain and incapacitation hits.
Together, they become the Minute-Men, a team of wounded warriors turned reluctant heroes. Their first mission: Stop a ruthless corporate warlord from weaponizing life-saving nanotechnology, turning hope into tools of control and destruction. To succeed, they must master their fleeting powers, trust each other, and find strength in their shared scars. Because in a world where everything can change in a heartbeat, 60 seconds is all they've got to save the day—and each other.
