'Can a super-villain really go straight? Would they even want to?

'Former super-villains and now married couple working penny-ante jobs, Simon and Nancy keep it on the downlow. The only real links to their infamous past is dressing up for each other.

'But when a former high-up villain shows them how to be criminals, not villains, can they really resist the urge to slip back into the masks?'

    'Going straight is no way to die…

    '…or so Simon and Nancy figured.

    'Badasses with cool nicknames, cooler powers, they loved the dark side. Their names were in the papers, their crew was feared and they were deep in an evil love.

    'But that was a while back. No one tells you what the dentist bill is like when a superhero hits you in the face. Or mad science budgets. Or jail time.

    'These days, no big scores, no names in the papers, no costumes. Safe. Dull.

    'But now there’s an opportunity. Come out of retirement. Big cash, big excitement.

    'There’s just one problem. They’re crooks now, not villains. No costumes, no dramas.

    'For Simon and Nancy, what’s the real score? Money, or action?'
