Description
In the midst of chaos and widespread destruction, Roy Cooper--a Stoic, unassuming errand runner for various New York criminals--arrives in Los Angeles. But amid the chaotic scene, he is unable to complete his hit job. Instead, he finds a jogger being beaten by four gangbangers and winds up in the middle of the fray. After witnessing his fight with the gangbangers and suffering injuries himself, Roy ends up hospitalized in critical condition. And though he survives, he is mistaken as a hero when a video of the incident goes viral. Even though his intentions were to kill the man, parents of children all over Los Angeles are now petitioning to have Roy Cooper become their child's new superhero role model. Will these parents be able to look past his past criminal history and give him one more chance at redemption?
