The story follows David Houston, an agent of the United Nations Psychodeviant Police, who is tasked with tracking and capturing Controllers—individuals capable of telepathically controlling others. Set in a futuristic society where fear of telepaths has led to extreme measures, the narrative unfolds within a world filled with intrigue and the moral dilemmas surrounding the treatment of those with psychic abilities. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Houston as he surveils the aristocratic Sir Lewis Huntley at a London bank, suspecting him of being controlled by another telepath, Robert Harris. Houston’s work leads him to a tense confrontation where he discovers a larger plot involving multiple Controllers. Throughout the opening portion, detailed descriptions of the psychic powers in play, the operations of the Psychodeviant Police, and Houston's personal reflections weave together a tale filled with suspense and the complex ethics of power and control. As he grapples with the implications of his own abilities and the growing criminal telepathic element, the stage is set for a deeper investigation into a world where telepathy is both a tool for manipulation and a source of fear.
