Plot

It always pays to be good. And for superhero-in-hiding Mang Jose, it is quite literal. Having the ability of energy absorption & redirection, he covertly saves people only if they rent him out.

One day, carefree young man Tope rents Mang Jose to help him save his mother who has been abducted by mysterious troopers of King Ina, an enigmatic cunning villainess who is out there to annihilate all remaining superheroes in hiding.

Little do Mang Jose and Tope know the quest would lead them into paying the terrible price in order to save the priceless truth binding them: family.
