To New York, Spider-Man is a hero.
The masked vigilante swings through the city's skyline, stopping criminals, saving strangers, and disappearing before anyone can learn who he really is.
To everyone else, Ashton Irwin is just an ordinary university student. He's always running late, always covered in unexplained bruises, and somehow always manages to miss the biggest moments-only to know far more about Spider-Man than anyone else should.
No one suspects the truth.
Not his best friends, Luke, Michael, and Calum.
Not the people he risks his life to protect.
And definitely not Marlowe Bennett-the sharp-witted girl he's been paired with for a university project, who slowly begins to notice that Ashton is hiding something far bigger than missed lectures and flimsy excuses.
As dangerous new villains emerge and the city grows more divided over whether Spider-Man is a hero or a menace, Ashton finds himself fighting battles on two fronts: one beneath the mask, and one in the life he's desperately trying to hold together.
Because saving New York is easy.
Keeping the people you love safe from the truth is the impossible part.
