Synopsis

Godolkin University of Crimefighting is the only place to send young superheroes to be trained. Those who contain great potential and power are the ones who need the closest attention and training. The only problem is that young adults are not renowned for discipline and diligence. Hormonal and brooding, these young Supes are competing for crimefighting contracts across cities in the US. It might just be that crime is not always their only concern. With trademark irreverence and raunchiness, this young drama is led by the perilous pairing of Marie M and Emma Shaw. The duo is destined to be battling, breaking, busting open, or lusting, after all, that comes in their path.
