Paul Pritchard just graduated from college, master's degree in his hand, and ready to start his new life. The problem is...he's already struggling to find a job. With the prospects of living in a basement apartment, eating ramen for every meal, Paul finds the real world a bit intimidating.
That is, until a strange man named Nathan David approaches him with a job opportunity with his company: the Wyndham-Hart Group, an organization that has spent decades shielding the world at large of the existence of “persons with powers” – the politically correct term for superheroes. While a handful of Wyndham-Hart operatives are out in the open with their own comic books and cartoon series, like the legendary gun-toting badass Stronghold, the majority of persons with powers walk among us, under the watchful eye of the company – and the conglomerate simply known as The Agency.
Under the direct supervision of the beautiful (and sardonic) Quinn Feldman, Paul is thrust into “on-the-job training” as Stronghold's personal liaison. While assisting him in this case, all arrows quickly point to Chapter Zero: a mysterious and dangerous chemical compound that draws the attention of both Wyndham-Hart operatives and the shady characters they're trying to stop. Unfortunately, one such character is Thaddeus Bell, a rogue Wyndham-Hart operative who reappears after living nearly thirty years off the grid, and is now, as it seems, out for blood.
With the pressure surmounting, Paul, Stronghold, and the rest of Wyndham-Hart are on a race against time before Chapter Zero is unearthed and falls into the wrong hands...and before someone realizes Paul may be under-qualified for the job.
