Zeros
Ethan (A.K.A. Scam) has a way with words. When he opens his mouth, whatever he wants you to hear is what comes out next. But Ethan isn't just a smooth talker. He has an actual power--an ability to say things he doesn't even consciously know. Pick up a cute girl? His voice will tell her everything he loved about her favorite singer's most obscure recording. Looking for a ride home? His voice references a mutual friend to a stranger. Sometimes the voice helps, but sometimes it hurts--like when that stranger ends up being on the way to a drug deal and Ethan's lies bring him into a massive mess culminating in a bank robbery gone wrong. So Ethan needs rescue, stat.
