Foster Stewart has been on the run with her adoptive mother, Cora, for over a year, trying to keep away from a group of villains known as the Core Four. When it turns out that Foster is one of eight genetically altered teens that her adoptive father, Dr. Rick, has sent to Core Four out to capture, she and her reluctant ally Tate retreat to a safe house to hide.
This scifi series told from multiple perspectives features romance, natural disasters, and elemental super powers.
The Dysasters contains examples of:
- Black Dude Dies First: Cora dies in the third chapter.

- Dishing Out Dirt: One of the four elements represented in the genetic alterations, represented by Eve of the Core Four. The teens with this power haven't been introduced yet.
- Elemental Powers: The premise of the series is that eight teens have been genetically altered to bond with the four elements - wind, water, earth, and fire.
