Eleven-year-old Zinnia and her parents moved halfway across the country after her younger brother passed away. This was supposed to be a fresh start, so why does her family feel so stuck?

Along with her cousin Willow, Zinnia soon finds herself part of a Real Life Superhero team, comprised of regular people who want to make a difference. At first helping out in her community feels great, until her teammates set their sights on bigger crimes. Now Zinnia must find the balance between bravery and recklessness, and learn to be a hero without a costume.
