(Biological Enhancement Systems Technology) Program. Until now, he's been living in the shadow of his superstar brother, Finn--but not for long. <p/> This is <i>new </i>Ace! He <i>knows</i> he can make his mark on the world with SuperSoar wings, but on day one, nothing goes as planned. The antagonistic elevator AI Otis wants to eat his belongings, the physical feats set by his tough-nut coach are impossible, and his celebrity roommates are far from welcoming. <p/> It becomes crystal clear that Ace is not prepared to fly--in any sense of the word. <p/> As tensions build, Ace has a sinking suspicion that there's something more going on at B.E.S.T. than meets the eye.
