Primer #[1]

In "Chapter 1 Primary Colors," a 13-year-old Ashley struggles to find her place after years of instability, channeling her pain into secret night-time graffiti. As her birthday looms and her future in state care hangs in the balance, she forms an unexpected bond with the Nolans—especially Kitch, whose quiet creativity offers a rare anchor. But as the family grapples with the weight of her past, Yuka wonders if she’s truly helping—or just inviting more chaos.

In "Chapter 2 No Paint, No Gain," Ashley stumbles upon a mysterious set of paint tubes while exploring a lab, unaware they’re anything more than art supplies—until she discovers one color grants her a startling new ability. With Kitch’s encouragement and Yuka’s growing distrust of the military, the line between creativity and power blurs in ways no one expected.

In "Chapter 3 Red, White, and Bruised," Ashley grapples with a painful family secret when her father, imprisoned and desperate, demands her loyalty. As the military hunts for the mysterious paints that grant power, and a ruthless figure named Strack eliminates scientists one by one, Ashley steps into the role of a hero—first by saving a crashing airliner, then in a desperate battle against Strack’s armored assault. With the last tube of paint her only hope, she makes a split-second choice that changes everything.

In "Chapter 4 True Colors," Jo finds herself caught in a high-stakes standoff when Strack, now rogue, takes the Nolans hostage and demands the final tube as ransom. With her resolve tested and her past unraveling, Ashley uncovers the truth behind Yuka’s fears—fears that were never about her, but about the weapon itself. As her father’s shadow looms from prison, she’s handed a new suit and a new purpose, one that forces her to confront what she’s been running from.
