In a world with powers, those with them are not too out of place. In a world with heroes and villains, a fight on your way to work may be the cause of you being late. In a world of truths, lies come far-
wait, what? What do you mean the line is supposed to be- ok fine. 
In a world full of lies, the truth comes a few far in between.
Alex Kline has lived in Baymeadow, Fairdela for nearly five years now and is a vigilante. Doing work that heroes on their pedestal don't wish to do, Alex could be considered a hero. Except they don't wish to be. Most heroes are known and could be anybody walking down the street. Alex wishes to stay in the shadows and work at their job and just be able to keep up with their rent. But when their identity is revealed to the world through an anonymous sender in the news, Alex freezes for the first time in many years and doesn't know what to do. When the most notorious villain in Baymeadow sends them a letter to meet with her and gives them an offer to fix all of this, Alex doesn't quite turn it down. But when the two stumble upon something they cannot not continue to dig up, well, let's just say they have a ways to keep digging.

But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
