Jake Sullivan is a war hero, a private eye, and an ex-con. He's free because he has a magical talent - the ability to alter the force of gravity in himself and objects in his vicinity - and the Bureau of Investigation calls on him when they need his help in apprehending criminals with their own magical traits. But, the last operation went completely wrong, and Delilah Jones, the woman the G-men were after, who just happened to be an old friend of Jake's in happier times, had a lot of magical muscle with her - too much muscle for the cops to handle, even with Jake's help. Worse still, a secret war is being waged by opposing forces of magic-users, and Jake just attracted the attention of one side - and w he's been deemed far too dangerous to live.
