Have you ever wondered exactly how a new fashion trend suddenly appears everywhere? It does not happen by accident. There is a secret, highly organized network of trendsetters and cool-hunters operating completely out of sight. They are the ones who dictate what is hot and what is hopelessly out of date.

But maintaining the precise schedule of what becomes cool is a dangerous game. When a mysterious disappearance threatens the entire system, one cool-hunter must step up to uncover a massive corporate conspiracy. If the delicate balance is broken, who knows what terrible trends will be forced upon the world next?
