Mild-mannered Hal O'Grady, is about as boring as they come, even for a Jr. High Volleyball Coach. When he finds out he has less than a year to live, however, he decides it's time for a major life change.

Rather than wallowing in self-pity, or wasting his money on finishing some meaningless bucket list, he decides to go out making a difference. Cashing in his 401K and calling upon his two best friends -- computer hacker Vicki Montana and former Marine Barry Chase -- he resolves to die saving the lives of innocent citizens, disguised as a superhero vigilante.

The problem is, it's a lot harder than it looks in all those movies.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
