Jack Knight's family has paid a heavy toll in the past day. His brother is dead, he and his father have been wounded, and he's feeling forced to take up a destiny he had hoped never to lay claim to. But in his apartment he's looking for clothing and equipment he can us to try to help Opal City through it's troubles.

He's lost the Gravity Rod his father gave him, so he'll have to find a replacement. And then, he'll have to face the Mist and an army of criminals.
