The age of Heroes has long since fallen, and the villains won in the end. New York City, once a bastion for hope for the entire world, is a hive of crime, corruption, and greed. The only vigilante that remains is Daredevil, but he's simply not enough to counter it all. Peter Parker came home to find his parents dead, brutally killed by Bullseye for an unknown reason. He's placed into Captain George Stacy's protective custody, where he finds himself experiencing strange experiences, and going down a path where no-one else wants to tread anymore...
Three months have passed since Peter Parker returned to his mantle of Spider-Man, and his city is in turmoil. A gang war for control of the criminal underworld breaks out, and it is left to him and other street-level heroes to protect the city. Can Peter let go of his past to ensure the future, or will his inner struggle doom all he has left to ruin?
