What happens when you can't pay your superhero bill? Kit Baldwin is just trying to get by. Rent is due. Food would be nice. A girlfriend, maybe. When she stumbles upon a crashed alien spaceship's power source, she gets more than she ever bargained for. The alien artifact draws the attention of Valene, Kit's crush, and the most powerful woman alive. Cosmic radiation from the ship gave some superhuman powers, but the Empowered sell them for a fee. Bankrupt, the city can't afford any disasters. Though Valene represents the company holding Kit's city hostage, Kit can't help but fall in love with her. It helps Valene lobbies for change, but disaster looms: her superhuman gifts are debilitating. Her deteriorating condition forces her to leave, depriving the city of its champion and Kit newfound happiness. In love and running out of time, Kit unleashes the artifact's full power, transforming herself forever, as well as the battle over what is owed, and to whom.
