Mild-mannered computer consultant Norman Neale has two great loves in this cruel world: Comic books and his office's
effervescent main receptionist, Andrea Hicks. Norman spends his days dreaming of Andrea from the isolation of his cubicle and
his nights dreaming of fighting crime from the solitude of his apartment.
Then one fateful day... Norman sees something that makes him believe that a fellow co-worker, Victor Ventura - a
swaggering, pretty-boy salesman, has slight telekinetic abilities. After discussing his mind-blowing discovery with his only
friend Chuck, a know-it-all comic book store owner, Norman comes to the outlandish conclusion that he should train Victor to
become a real-life superhero by helping him refine and expand his extraordinary ability.
Norman envisions an exciting new
future for himself battling the city's criminal elements as Victor's faithful sidekick. But Norman is soon faced with the
heartbreaking realization that not all people with extraordinary abilities are meant to be heroes.
