Olivia loves causes. So much that her idea of ecstasy is donating blood and crashing FEMA recovery efforts. In her minivan. Stuffed with her own recruits. Because she can talk anyone into doing anything as long as they receive nothing in return and lose large amounts of cash.

When Olivia's blind date morphs into a surreal kidnapping, she learns her hobby is much more. Born Ethos, Olivia has the power to persuade others to offer charity—a fact she learns from the emotionally empowered Pathos.

But the logic-ridden Logos, despisers of the Pathos, will not allow the association. And through deceit, ill-humor, and an appeal to prospective moral progeny, the Logos and Pathos combat for the Ethos.
