What happens to defenders of a city when they're no longer needed? Some fade away. Others turn to a different line of work. And still others... turn evil.
Zander Nelson, formerly known as Phantom and a member of a superhero group called the Backup Crew, loses his job and his apartment-due to a bomb-in one afternoon.
He finds refuge with his ex-girlfriend and teammate, Millie Lennet, formerly known as Mule, but her apartment is also torched, and they realize that someone has a vendetta against them.
Searching for clues nets them nothing. Their former leader, Andrew Shorter-AKA Blaster-is missing, and their former teammate, Glen Fooks-AKA Substance Abuse-is dead, courtesy of another bombing.
Zander's notion of justice is sorely tested, and once he puts the clues together, he realizes that things aren't so black-and-white anymore. He also realizes that if the real culprit isn't caught, he and Millie might not live another day.
