As the saying goes, 'Not all heroes wear capes,' and in the case of Chloé Godoy, the statement had never been more true. The promiscuous, twenty four year old intern finds herself with supernatural abilities one morning after a night out and she thinks why not try to put them to good use and fight crime? There's one problem though. Her powers only work when she's drunk off her ass. ** That only turns out to be the tip of the iceberg when roped into a mugging case, Chloé's life is catapulted into chaos after every turn; there's conspiracies within the police, she's caught in the crossfire of warring mob groups and headhunted by a cult. To make matters worse, her only means of help is her psychotic childhood frenemy who's sex on a stick, and a shifty private detective with ties to the underworld who constantly gets under Chloé's skin. And her skirt. On second thought, she probably might be better off not doing this sober.
