'What happens when supervillains become mere criminals? Nancy Grace and Simon Van Zandt got out of the cape-game a few years ago. They were tired of the mad plans and getting their heads kicked in by a bunch of do-gooders. But when their old boss, the Duchess comes back and tells them they can still do jobs, they just can't wear the costumes, the money starts rolling in and times are good. The only problem? Nancy and Simon miss the masks more than they ever thought...'

'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.

'Simon and Nancy are back with the crew, pulling heists like professional criminals.

'But even though they're making the fat money, it just doesn't have the juice they need. It doesn't have the thrill, or the daring or the drama. It doesn't give them the sweet, sweet opportunity to punch a supehero in the mother@&*!ing face!

'Not everyone is happy with their recklessness though. Cracks are forming between who is a criminal and who is a villain...'
