Description: Alexandra "Alex" Mack is an ordinary teenage girl living in the industrial town of Paradise Valley with her parents, George and Barbara, and her precocious older sister, Annie. The town largely revolves around Paradise Valley Chemical, a factory that employs most of the adult residents but has a notoriously shady history and staff. While walking home after her first day of junior high, Alex is nearly hit by a truck from Paradise Valley Chemical, and during the incident, she is accidentally drenched in GC-161, an experimental chemical developed by the factory.
