Jax Toronto is a human ticking bomb.

That's what Sawyer, his guardian, is fond of calling him when he says things he shouldn't, and asks questions he shouldn't be asking. This is an especially dangerous game to play in a household where his guardian is an actual FBI agent.

The world Jax knows is one full of spending quiet days at the apartment, reading James Bond books in the sun and decidedly not thinking about how the very kind of people Agent Sawyer is trying to catch is the kind from which he was born.

Until the accident, that is. When Jax's life quite literally spins out of control, he realizes his world might have more jagged edges than he thought. Lucky for him, he's got Payton, resident breaking-and-entering expert; Raine, his computer guru and strategist; and Hallie, the one who takes it upon herself to keep them all alive.

Of course, there's still the mystery about the pendant that he's tasked to keep safe all his life. Because the list of things Jax doesn't know about himself is growing longer by the day.
