This is an urban fantasy family drama about what happens to superheroes decades after their prime. This is a story about when the years have long gone by and your priorities are still backwards, and your present is tied to history.

72-year-old Johnny Ribkins has a looming threat on his mind. When he goes on a treasure hunt of sorts, he meets his 13-year-old niece, the daughter of his younger, deceased brother. He recalls his time as a member of the Justice Committee, family with special abilities who assembled and lended their talents to the Civil Rights Movement.

For readers who enjoy character studies, intergenerational stories, or dramas this could be for you. I liked it, the relationship between Johnny and his niece was my favorite part.
