Fifteen-year-old Quinn is just trying to survive high school—awkward science fairs, a sick parent, and being the kind of kid who talks more to plants than people. While hiking alone in the woods near his small Pacific Northwest town, he discovers something extraordinary: a glowing fungus with vibrant blue gills that seems to pulse with energy. He dubs it The Blue Angel.

On a desperate whim, he brews a tea from it for his chronically ill mother—and she wakes up stronger than she’s been in years. Word spreads. Quietly, at first. Then things spiral.But the real problem comes later—weeks after people take the cure.

They’re getting better. Too much better. Adults lose wrinkles, aches, and scars—and begin to regress. One by one, they’re reverting back into their Prime state mentally and physically.
