The world turned its back on heroes.
They used to be symbols of hope, crusaders of justice, the world's protectors. For decades they were beloved, revered by the people they kept out of harm's way. But one day, when the world needed them most, they failed. They died. All of them. In fact, all supers died. So humanity moved on after they learned to save themselves and reasoned that they didn't need heroes. For fifteen years, superheroes were nothing but a memory.
So, when a tragic accident grants Oakland teen, Connor Acy super powers, he tries his best to sweep things under the rug. After all, he's got his own problems. Namely, adjusting to high school, parents who won't even talk to each other, his own identity issues, dumb crushes, an increasingly reckless best friend and the grief that threatens tear him apart from the inside out. But when the crime begins to spiral even further out of control and a new threat emerges, he may just have to stand up, answer the bell and become the hero the city needs.

Arlo Sanders wakes up one morning to discover that he wet the bed. I know what you're thinking and no, he didn't pee himself. He had developed super powers. At first, he was in denial, but inevitably came to the understanding that he is now a Super, and if he has powers, he might as well use them for something other than picking up hot chicks.
Now, not only does he have to deal with school, his almost non existent social life and his aggravating younger brother, but he also has to fight super villains and learn to control his new found powers to avoid blowing his cover to the world...and it is a lot harder than he anticipated.
Prepare for a roller coaster ride of lame one liners and painfully awkward adolescent behaviour, along with bromances and romances, breakups and make ups, and even some cliché superhero behaviour, villains who hold a grudge, and really dorky super suits. Oh... and angry, rampaging squirrels.
