But Bryan never really feels right acting so wrong, and drama really isn't him. So which way will he go, especially when his dad tells him it's better to be hard and feared than liked? But if there's one thing Bryan's gotten from his comic heroes, it's that he has power to stand up for what he feels ...

A Bryan no le gusta el drama. Lo suyo es leer cómics, dibujar superhéroes, estar tranquilo.
Pero su nuevo amigo Mike lo presiona con ideas de diversión que, en realidad, son muy arriesgadas. Al principio, Bryan siente la adrenalina de lo desconocido, mientras surfea el metro de Nueva York. Pero pronto se da cuenta de que no quiere seguirle el paso a Mike. De su padre aprendió que es mejor ser duro y temible, y sus superhéroes favoritos le enseñaron que tiene el poder de defender sus ideas. Cómo reaccionará Bryan cuando suba la tensión con los amigos y con su familia? Cómo navegará sus deseos de tener una vida diferente?
