Allistair 'Tay' Jaako is one of the few humans who has what the government call 'Skills', superpower-like abilities. In Tay's case he's a Phase-Shifter: he can walk through walls and people, and weapons can pass straight through him.

Tay has been with the government for longer than he can remember, and that is for the simple reason that he has been a guinea-pig in covert studies since he was passed over to them as a baby. Having survived all the experiments he was put through he was educated and then, having survived until the age of twelve, was sent to the Academy, the branch of the government that deals with educating Skilled children and, ultimately, moulds them into the perfect agents.

Having passed his exams with almost-flying colours (don't mention Geography) Tay then settled into a life spent in government service. They provided him with an apartment and a wage and in his turn he worked in a team with other Skilled agents, tracking and neutralising--in any way necessary--threats to the country.

However, after some harsh words were thrown around during one operational meeting that went sour, Tay stormed out and left his team to plan the operation without him. In his absence, his team followed a plan laid out by a colleague that led ultimately to their deaths. Tay, realising something was wrong far too late to be able to do anything about it, discovered their bodies; despite his grief and his screaming insistence the organisation they had been investigating had done it, he was suspected of killing them and taken into confinement.

A few months passed before he found out whether he would be processed and sent to Research, the department he had begun his life in and fully expected to end it in, or whether he would be exonerated. Despite fully expecting it to be the former, his previous Supervisor spoke up for him and he was instead transferred to a newly formed Investigations department along with two other staff members with difficult pasts and a new Supervisor on his last warning for poor treatment of agents and who makes his hatred of Tay perfectly clear, despite the fact Tay has never met him before in his life.

Tay's new life is more difficult. He's waiting for his Supervisor to finally lose his temper entirely and dispatch him to Research, his new Team Leader keeps trying to mother him--like he'd even know how it felt--while her electrokinesis Skill could get him killed and he isn't sure how he even feels about the quiet blond Honey-Tongue... and then there's Adam, the handsome guy he met at a club shortly after his transfer and who might be a lot more than he seems...
