Publisher's Synopsis
Sam Carver is a firefighter in a rundown 1989 Buffalo, New York ghetto. At heart a good man, Sam sees his life spiraling away: he's behind on child support, being pursued by the mobsters he owes money, and has a drug problem.
Then, while attempting and failing to save a child in a house fire, a green flame appears and changes Sam's world.
Alana, not from Earth and completely ignorant of basic daily human activities, needs help to save not only her life, but also her planet. And she's being pursued by beings like her, but with superhuman strength and an unflagging desire to see her dead.
Sam is the superhero who won't quit ... but will he survive?
