The origins of SuperShock’s complicated and mysterious relationship with Retro Girl are revealed, as Calista, Sgt. Martinez and Zora team up to fill the Powers void left in her absence. The disgraced Senator Brown’s body is discovered, catapulting newly reinstated detectives, Walker and Pilgrim into the investigation.

Walker learns that something isn’t quite right with SuperShock, while Pilgrim and Kutter investigate an elusive “Ghost.” Calista’s estranged father unexpectedly comes to town.

Powers start dropping from the sky and Walker suspects an old friend is behind it. Pilgrim pursues Ghost believing he is responsible. Calista confronts SuperShock but the encounter causes her to reconsider being a power.

Powers Division and New Unity plan to capture SuperShock by using The Ghost as bait, but all does not go according to plan, and each would-be-hero must rise to the occasion or suffer the terrible consequences.
