Based on a spec script by Bragi F. Schut (“Threshold,” “Season of the Witch”), the action is set two decades after an epic battle between a super villain and a superhero left the villain dead and the hero missing.
The story follows a young boy befriending an old man who he believes is the superhero in hiding. Michael Litvak and Jonathan Oakes will produce.
