Description

In a world irrevocably altered by the appearance of Calamity, an event that bestowed superhuman abilities on certain individuals known as Epics, the balance of power has dramatically shifted. Cities lie in ruins, dominated by tyrants wielding their extraordinary gifts for control and oppression. Among these Epics, the most formidable is Steelheart, a being of almost invincible strength and ruthlessness, who rules over Chicago with an iron fist.

Cal, a young man who witnessed his father's death at Steelheart's hands, is fueled by a thirst for vengeance. He’s haunted by the belief that all Epics are inherently evil and must be stopped. Driven by a deep-seated desire to reclaim his home and restore hope to the broken world, he teams up with a ragtag group of rebels who are equally determined to bring down the tyrant.

As they delve into the world of the Epics, Cal discovers not only the complexities of power but also the nuances of morality that shape their existence. Through courage and cunning, they aim to exploit a hidden weakness in Steelheart, risking everything in the battle between oppression and freedom. Cal's journey is not merely one of revenge; it's a quest to understand the nature of power and to find a way to overcome the darkness that has enveloped their world.
