In a prosperous yet gruesomely violent near-future, superhero vigilantes
battle thugs whose heads are full of supervillain fantasies. The peace
is kept by a team of smooth, well-dressed negotiators called The Men in
Fancy Suits. Meanwhile a young girl is caught in the middle, and thinks
the whole thing is ridiculous.
Zoey, a recent college graduate with a worthless degree, makes a
reluctant trip into the city after hearing that her estranged con artist
father had died in a mysterious yet spectacular way. There she finds
that her scumbag dad had actually, in the final years of his life, put
his amazing talent for hustling to good use: He was one of the founding
members of the Fancy Suits, and died in the course of his duties.
Zoey is quickly entangled in the city's surreal mob war when she is
taken hostage by a particularly crazy villain who imagines himself to be
a Dr. Doom-level mastermind. The villain is demanding information about
Zoe's father when she is rescued by The Fancy Suits. She reluctantly
joins their cause and help finish what her old man started, tapping into
her innate talent for bullshit that she inherited from her hated father.
And along the way, she might just have to learn how to trust people
again.
