Taylor Ebert is an ordinary girl who isn’t popular at school, but she has a secret: she possesses a superpower. However, besides her, the world has a huge number of people with similar secrets (and for some, it’s no secret at all), who are usually divided into heroes and villains — as well as neutral loners. Suits, masks, nicknames instead of names, unwritten rules, politics, and dirty tricks are all part of the package.
On one of her early outings in costume, Taylor is mistakenly taken for a villain — which throws her into a world of constant confrontation between good and evil, where villains can do socially useful work and even save the world, while heroes aren’t always as clean as they want to appear. All Taylor can rely on is new friends, a steady head, and an unusual superpower that allows her to control insects.
