Dr. Fredrick Hyatt has created a genetic process to unlock the human genome.. 'giants' that literally tower of regular 'duploid' humans, and have exceptional intelligence. They just just want to live in a world that hates and fears them. After a disaster 15 years ago, a fragile peace between the races exists. Magneto, er Maurey, is one of the 2nd generation of giants, and sets about to create a tipping point to start a war, using a young engineer and his breakthrough discovery to do it.
