"I'm a PI, a private investigator - it means I work when I'm sober. I'm a consultant for the local cops, the FBI, and anyone else who'll pay me. I used to be employed by the Department. I worked for CARD - Child Abduction Rapid Deployment - tracking missing children, and the scum who took them. I was one of the big boys, one of the suits, constantly surrounded by all the debris and wreckage of a society with too many resources and not enough heart. I had worked for a cause. Now I worked for a paycheck - it was easier." Eddie Evers was at the top of his game, but after his wife and child are killed in a car crash, he leaves the force and becomes a hard-drinking PI. While in pursuit of a phantom criminal, he's hit by lightning, super-charging the biophotons in his brain, enabling him to see into other dimensions and experience electricity in a whole new light. Assisted by Max, a savant cat, Singh, a Sikh taxi driver, and a secret society of scientists at QED (Quantum/Evolution/Dimensions), Eddie treks through the dirty, dark alleys and hilltop mansions of Los Angeles, trying to discover who's been killing a slew of elementary school teachers and students, all the while trying to understand his glimpses into other times, places and dimensions.
