The Wellwishers
The Wellwishers follows John Gideon, a CIA operative, and Natalie Reyes of the FBI as they fight to save a gifted set of twins known as wellwishers. Kept in extreme isolation these sisters have a unique gift - whatever they wish for together comes to pass in reality - and controlling them has been the cause and crusade of many world leaders. As the twins become more difficult to command, it is Gideon and Reyes who step in as their protectors, beginning a thrilling standoff against greed and domination.
