Alex Cides straps on his tool belt one morning, only to find his wife is gone, his daughters fear him, he's lost his job and a mysterious curse has thrown him out of balance with the universe. Ten impossible tasks in LA's mythical underbelly stand between setting things right or losing everything.

The story takes Alex from his workday life as a working-class hero and turns him into a working-class superhero. The harder he fights to get his old life back – the closer he gets to achieving his goal – the more he’s changed forever by what he’s seen and done. Rising from the ashes, victorious, Alex embraces his family – only to learn this was just the beginning. He just signed a contract with the universe, and keeping it in balance will be a full-time job.
