Dawson Leery and Joey Potter have been friends for as long as they can remember. Ever since they were children, Joey would climb up into his bedroom window, where they would hang out, watch movies, and just discuss life in general. Then, one day, all that changed...they fell in love. Ever since that day, their lives have been in constant upheval. Melodramas and complicated relationships continued to invade their lives, never giving them a moments peace. Together with their friends, Pacey and Jen, they try to make sense of their lives. And discover that, sometimes...the gap between friendship and love isn't as wide as they think.
Cyclops. Wolverine. Storm. Nightcrawler. Colossus. Rogue. Iceman. Phoenix. They are mutants. People born with with super-human powers that set them apart from the rest of humanity. Gathered together by Professor Charles Xavier, they fight to make his dream of peacefull co-existance between mutants and ordinary humans a reality. Protecting a world that fears and hates them.
Dawson Leery has always felt he was different than everyone else. Up until now, he simply assumed that was because of his overly-optimistic world view, and his uncanny talent for filmaking.
Now, however, he knows the truth...he is a mutant. A person born with a genetic x-factor in their DNA, giving them amazing powers far beyond those of ordinary humans. The next step in human evolution. Dawson and two of his closest friends must now accept that the people in their life will never look at them the same way again.
But when Professor Charles Xavier invites the three of them to attend his school for gifted youngsters, they see this as an oportunity to learn just what they are...in more ways than one.
Whatever the answers, they had better do it quickly. Because forces are gathering that could destroy not only the three friends, but every living person on the planet.
