Saving the world is easy.
Surviving your internship is the hard part.
Seventeen-year-old Caleb Randolph has spent two years training to become a top-tier superhero-cape, fame, city lights, the whole package. But when internship assignments go out, Caleb doesn't get New York, L.A., or even somewhere with a decent pizza joint.
He gets Oxford, Mississippi.
Worse, he's required to assume the identity of the town's school mascot: Charger. Not The Charger. Not Blue Charger. Just Charger. A hero themed after... electrical stuff. Caleb has zero electrical powers.
Welcome to the bottom of the superhero food chain.
Placed in a secret basement lair beneath William Faulkner's historic home, dealing with suspicious local law enforcement, nosy neighbors, church-invite interrogations, and absolutely no villainy worth punching, Caleb wonders if this is heroism-or punishment.
But something strange is brewing in this quiet Southern town. And if Caleb can survive broken hearts, haywire costumes, small-town traditions, superpowered roommates, and a mascot identity that makes even him cringe... he just might uncover what being a hero actually means.
After all, Mississippi needs superheroes, too.
