Baxter McPherson is a child prodigy. He is able to use 99 percent of his brain capacity unlike normal people who only use 8 to 10 percent. He is anything but normal and he is the latest born into his family’s history of exceptional children. Baxter just wants to be normal and live a typical life with friends and family who accept him with love and respect. But his friends chastise him and call him 'Superman' because of his exceptional abilities. He just wants to play the 'Clarke Kent' side of the Superman persona, but unlike Superman he does not have a Clarke Kent. His hope of being normal is constantly squashed by his own superlative abilities. In his youth, he is lonely. He wants to be accepted. He wants to understand why he is the way he is. His mother understands him as the latest prodigy in her family’s history and consoles him guiding him to accept and appreciate his special abilities as he grows. As a young man at Harvard University, he finds love with his life’s soulmate but realizes that a university education cannot teach him his life’s purpose. He leaves, penniless to search out who he is. On his journeys he meets all classes of society: the rich and the poor; the good and the bad; the humble and the egocentric narcissists. Each new encounter embodies a philosophy in his soul: to find good people and to emphasize with them the best they can accomplish to benefit humanity. From his experiences, he forms the compassionate Butterfly Organization to reward goodness in society in all facets of humanity: regardless of scale from a small individual kid to large companies. But as surely as there is good in society, there is also evil--and evil is not a weak opponent. It is strong and it will not stand still. It reacts and counters against Baxter’s organization of recruiting the best and brightest. A battle is inevitable and reaches into the tenets of his organization. It will take all of Baxter’s resources to defeat the evil. Will he be successful? 3
