Miriam and Peter are riders, each possessing a rare genetic mutation which, once triggered by a near-death experience, enables them to "jump" from their old bodies and "ride" new ones. After nearly seven centuries of living in a world that is totally unaware of their kind, they prepare to start a new chapter in their storied life together. Riding new bodies, they move to Birmingham, Alabama, where Miriam accepts a position with a small public relations firm. She starts work on a project for a new political party and unexpectedly discovers another rider, a ruthless Egyptian named Anwar, whose evil plan centers on gaining access to the immense power of the United States presidency. When one of her co-workers is killed in an apparent attempt on her life, Miriam realizes that Anwar will do anything to protect his secret. With no way to communicate this threat to the rest of the world-who would believe their story?-Miriam and Peter must decide whether to run or to put their long lives at risk to fight a sinister foe who will stop at nothing in his quest for power.
