Welcome to Gemini City, where super-battles disrupt rush hour, insurance claim adjusters rival rock stars, and villains stash the souls of murdered superheroes inside little children. It's been 10 years since Shay Sinclair's parents were murdered by a super villain, leaving her and her sister to fend for themselves. Now at age 16, Shay has something that villain wants. After a chance encounter with a superhero in a stairwell, something awakens in Shay, something that could get her killed. Max Steel has spent the last 10 years searching for one particular soul. Now, a coincidental run-in with Shay Sinclair leaves Max closer than he's ever been to everything he's ever wanted. But Max hits a brick wall when he goes after her. Unlike other girls her age, Shay isn't into superheroes. So, if Max wants to win her over and be reunited with the soul inside her, he must get creative. He invites Shay into a seductive world of fame, glamour, luxury, and epic battles with villainous foes. Now that Shay's in the mix with superheroes and crazed villains, everyone wants a piece of her. A super villain wants to devour her soul, a superhero wants to love her, and Shay just wants to go back to her normal life. It's not like in the movies. In real life, superheroes suck.
