Five empathic women with extraordinary abilities to uncover secrets meet with Navy admirals in a classified briefing, exposing over $150 billion in hidden military accounts to secure unlimited funding for their project aimed at preventing global catastrophe. During their mission, they rescue Patricia, a hidden hybrid girl created through off-world genetic manipulation, from her protective but confining life with Admiral Paul's family, bringing her into their telepathically-bonded group despite the dangerous attention their abilities have attracted from military and government forces.
