Plot
Superheroes have proven themselves as defenders of humanity. They save people from death, banks – from robberies, stray dogs – from hunger… In general, they try to make their act as noticeable as possible to the public. There are seven superheroes who work for one large company. They are considered the most influential, and every person with abilities dreams to get there.
A girl called Starlight has always wanted to get into the Seven. But the opportunity to become one of the team members was given to her just now. Acquainted with the rest of the elite, Starlight understands – the road to glory is full of disappointment. These heroes actually live a double life: in front of the cameras they show themselves as intercessors, and behind the scenes they show true feelings.
A member of the “Seven” team named Translucent among superheroes is famous for its persecution of various kinds. Starlight also had to sag through the guys from Seven to get into the team. Disgusted with himself and fate, Starlight decides to sleep with one of the team members. But the incident is so much her that with time Starlight will show what is capable of.
Hugh Campbell does not have any talents. He was a calm guy who led a measured life and dreamed of moving to his girlfriend. Once they walked along the sidewalk, holding hands. After a moment, Hugh’s clothes were smeared with the lover’s blood, and her hands remained in his hands. Turning his head, he saw the superhero A-Train, who had driven a girl at super speed.
After a short time, Hugh meets Billy Butcher, who persuades the guy to fight lawlessness. A-Train in a television interview stated that the girl was on the roadway and interfered with traffic. Later, Hugh saw a secret entry where A-Train was telling a friend in minute detail about the accident that had occurred. At the same time he laughed without remorse.
Billy Butcher is recruiting in his group of people affected by superheroes. Who can resist people endowed with supernormal abilities? Only the squad “The Boys”, which says revenge for the dead relatives. Maybe Starlight will soon be in the ranks of the “Boys”?
