Smooth Criminals

In a city where humans and mutants live side by side, three brothers are born on a stormy night under circumstances their mother will never forget. Kane, Kade, and Kian are triplets who look almost identical, but each carries something unusual within him. As they grow older, strange abilities begin to surface—abilities that force their mother to realize that her sons may never have an ordinary life. She does everything she can to protect them. But life doesn't give them much time. After losing the only person who ever truly kept them together, the brothers are left to survive on their own. With nowhere to go and nobody to depend on, they slowly learn to use their abilities to steal what they need. At first, the jobs are small. Food. Money. Things they can sell. But the brothers discover that they're surprisingly good at it. They don't rush. They don't leave unnecessary evidence. And because they can disappear and change their appearances, witnesses can never agree on what they actually saw. Then one day, a wealthy and mysterious man enters their lives. Unlike the criminals they've encountered, he doesn't want to exploit them. Instead, he offers them something they have never had before: a chance to live on their own terms. He gives them information, equipment, resources—and eventually the matching black suits that become their signature. Their robberies become bigger. Their reputation grows. And soon, the city gives them a name: The Smooth Criminals. But fame comes with a price. The government wants them captured. Bounty hunters begin tracking them. Rival mutants see them as competition. Criminal organizations want to use them. And with every successful job, the bounty on their heads grows larger. The brothers only wanted enough freedom to build a life together. Now they're being hunted for reasons they don't fully understand. As their path crosses with powerful people, hidden organizations, and secrets buried beneath the city's history, the brothers begin to realize that their lives may be connected to something much bigger than crime. Something their mother may have known about. Something powerful people have spent years trying to keep hidden. And eventually, Kane, Kade, and Kian will have to decide whether they are going to keep running from the world— or find out why the world is so afraid of them. Three brothers. Three different powers. One unbreakable bond. And a city that will never look at them the same way again.
