Overview
Synopsis
Set during the 1980s, we find Dexter, a reluctant superhero. He is always on call. There's no such luxury of working a straight 9 to 5 job. The demands of working around the clock, 7 days a week are finally getting to him. It's also affecting his relationship with his girlfriend Brenda, who is unaware of Dexter’s true identity.
He can't go on like this… But what's the answer? If only he had a team of superhero wannabes to help him out!
