HOPE KENNEDY's always known that being the daughter of two government agents wasn't exactly something to brag about. She also knows that things aren't always what they seem, but what people want you to believe they are. And, of course, that danger's always lurking around the corner, waiting to strike when you least expect it.
PETER PARKER knows that with great power comes great responsibility. He also knows that living two different lives and keeping them separate is way more difficult than it seems, specially when one of them ends up consuming you completely when you have nothing left to lose.
Or no one left to lose.
SPIDER-MAN, after several days of investigation (and thanks to hacking a few databases), discovers that a charity gala's going to be held in the city. All attempts to get any information beyond where it'll take place have been in vain, but if there's one thing Peter knows after all these years as one of New York's superheroes, it's that a lack of information usually hides way too many secrets.
Amid the chaos that the event descends into, Spidey meets EMILY RUSSELL, a journalist who's pretty curious and much more willing to put herself in danger than someone who's supposedly there only to do her job.
HOPE KENNEDY has no idea that SPIDER-MAN's her neighbor, that guy she buys frozen pepperoni pizzas for and who never accepts her parents' invitations to have dinner at their house, nor does she know that PETER PARKER knows that, if she's at that gala, under a false identity, and trying to find the same information him, it's because the situation's more serious than it seems.
What neither of them knows is that, just like two people who are very important to Hope, they're both the hope to put a bioterrorist threat that could put the entire world at risk... or turn it into the personification of despair.
