Rather then the wildly successful writer Kat was hoping to become after graduation, she finds herself working as a barista at the Wicked Witches café. The endless days if coffee stains and entitled costumers are only interrupted when a beautiful girl starts to come to the store, brightening it up with her presence. It makes it impossible for Kat to resist trying to play hero when the girl is cornered behind the cafe's store one day. But she could never have predicted the wonderful and often spooky world of magic she'd be trust into.

Five years ago a mysterious world-changing event revealed the existence of super-powered humans to the world. As the world struggles to acclimate to the new reality, more and more super-powered people come out of the woodwork as heroes and villains, including Toronto's semi-famous hero Thunderbird. Sara Strong has known about her powers her whole life and is ready to join the fight, even if it's against her parent's wishes. Meanwhile, two scientists discover something sinister going on at the world's premier institute for super-powered beings. And a mysterious woman returns to the city for some unfinished business.
