Synopsis and trailer follow...

The city is under attack from a deadly killer. A master villain who goes by many names and has many faces, all of them deadly. But who is he? Kevin Sherwood, Ring Master Jesus, The Matanza Killer? There's one person who needs the answer so he can start saving lives and that is Sparks.

When his parents are killed in a car crash fireball, Ian Sparks makes it his mission to fight crime. As a masked vigilante he burns with the desire for vengeance and soon discovers the dark side of heroism, where havoc is wreaked for profit and life is cheap.

Sparks joins forces with a band of mysterious super heroes who operate in the shadows, but what they have in common is more than Sparks can imagine and the cost of finding the evil villain and uncovering the truth may be more than he can afford.
