    Growing up in a cold, depressing household after her father's death, Tessa Ramona Pierce has a complicated relationship with her mother. No matter how hard Tessa tries to bond, she always fails-largely because her mother constantly disappears at odd hours. On a typical Friday night, Tessa finds herself home alone once again while her mother is out doing God knows what. Sitting on the sofa, she decides to rewatch her favorite childhood movie, The Incredibles-the one film she used to cherish watching with her dad. As the movie plays, wrapping her in warm memories of happier times, Tessa can't help but wish out loud to escape her miserable life and join the world of The Incredibles. She never expected her wish to actually come true... nor did she expect it to drop her right into the peak of the Golden Age of Superheroes!
