Daisy was less than 24 hours into her new life of adulthood when she was unwittingly given the ability to read minds. It was an eighteenth birthday gift she hadn’t asked for, didn’t understand, and would quickly regret.

It turned out that knowing exactly what her boyfriends were thinking was too much for any of the guys to handle, and as if her boyfriend-repelling abilities weren’t depressing enough, her efforts to help make the world a better place only seemed to make things worse. In a nasty twist of cosmic-cruelty, it was her optimistic, “Save-the-world” nature that led her to help the Police catch criminals that ordinary cops just couldn’t catch… but that came with a terrible price tag of it’s own.

You see, when you spend most of your days inside the heads of the most villainous scumbags in society, you end up with a pretty dark view of the world, and after five years mind-reading the worst of mankind, she was bitter, burnt-out and desperate for it all to end. For Daisy, Telepathy was definitely more of a curse than a gift.

Then, one day, out of the blue, she meets Ben, a save-the-world Mr. Nice Guy with a dysfunctional superpower of his own:Whenever he touches people, their thoughts became real.

Great if they’re daydreaming about world peace, but not so great if they’re having a bad day and wishing for armageddon. His powers are new, he can’t switch them off and he never really knows what people are thinking.

So, unless he’s happy to risk destroying the world whenever he brushes shoulders with a stranger, he’s facing a lifetime without hugs, kisses or ANY kind of human contact unless he learns to read minds and control his powers. So when he finds out Daisy, a girl who can read people’s thoughts, he figures she could be the answer to all his problems, if she would just agree to help him learn to use his powers and save the world.

But the thing is, Daisy doesn’t think the world is worth saving, and she kinda likes the idea of Ben accidentally dishing out a dollop of global karma. But the universe, it seems, has other plans, and when she realises she could use Ben’s wish-granting abilities for her own shady agenda, she agrees to “help” him, but all the while she’s playing him like a well-worn banjo.
