It
starts like just another in long string of Friday nights: Steve
Janson again fools himself into thinking he'll go for a
stress-busting, head-clearing run, only to end up at the local
Sav-N-Lo picking up a pack of Doritos. But when he ends up bleeding
on the floor after a robbery gone wrong, and a mysterious stranger
saves his life, he finds himself living every man’s dream. Or is
that nightmare? In either case, he’s a superhero.
The darkly comic Super Steve asks: what if a regular person suddenly found himself stronger, faster, smarter than his fellow mortals? If nothing else (and, increasingly, there is nothing else), Steve is that average man, someone who clings to his sense of stand-up-guyness. He still puts in the overtime, even as the desks around him empty at the soon-to-be-extinct Metroburgh Green Pages. He makes sure his deeply pregnant wife and his baby-to-be live comfortably, even as his mountain of debt grows Himalayan. Sure, being the calm face that keeps everything alright gnaws at his slowly expanding gut some days, but it’s nothing a couple of MetroLagers can’t numb.
And
at first, saving school busses and pulling kittens from trees suits
Steve perfectly. But as crime grips the city – an agitated former
Occupier freeing the people’s money; a disgruntled ex-geologist
with a knife to grind; a military man determined to keep the streets
safe, no matter how unsafe they get in the process –the demands
grow unbearable. As Steve’s wife grows suspicious of his late-night
activities, as his boss threatens his job if the absenteeism doesn’t
end, as his finances spin out of control after a gadget-buying spree,
he is forced to ask himself: Must he sacrifice Steve Janson to be a
hero? Or does he have to sacrifice the city in order to live with
himself?
