Some people hide behind masks.
Ted Snow is a regular married Joe Schmoe, but his life takes a turn for the worse when his dreams are interrupted by the Sentinels, three masked figures who threaten to ruin his life if he doesn't kill a bunch of criminals who evaded the law. Concealing his identity under the mantle of Jupiter, the roman God of justice, Ted is forced to serve vigilante 'justice', even as his new identity threatens to consume who he really is. And while the trails he leaves behind keeps the law hot on his tail, and a serial killer chooses Ted as his next victim, it really doesn't matter. After all, what matters is behind the mask.
