Ten years ago, a mysterious man with impossible strength and the ability to fly saved people from a burning building. Calling himself Crimson Titan, he revealed that superheroes were not just characters in books and movies but real people with fantastical abilities, dubbed supers by the media and soon revered as gods. Every day in Crescent Bay was like living out a comic book, with the occasional villain, sometimes with a goofy name, threatening to destroy the affluent city or taking the mayor hostage. Rory Reyes is not a super, just a teenage girl with a quick wit and intelligence that rivals the geniuses of today. When she is not inventing some gadget, she is cheering on her brother at a gig or forced to attend superhero fan club meetings with her best friend. She never understood the superhero craze but one night, she finds herself thrust into a mystery that threatens the city. Forced to work with Crimson Titan and his sidekicks, including a beautiful new hero struggling with her powers, to clear her name, she learns that everything is not as it seems, the line between good and evil a bit blurred.
