The story is set in an alternative universe where superheroes exist. Sarah Valentine is nearly 30 and works in a game company designing marketing material. She runs into company internal mail delivery boy Nate. Nate and Sarah share a common dislike towards the "good" superheroes, who tend not to value civilian lives. When Sarah gets captured, Nate comes to the rescue. He turns out to be part of Doctor Oracle, a bigger organization fighting superheroes. Sarah joins the villains, making things right where superheroes are wrong.
Unsung Villains (2015)
Sarah and Nate are now part of the team heading the super secret Doctor Oracle organization. Sarah's first job leading her own mission is to obtain information from a superhero with a usual power: foresight.
