Mik Murdoch has done a lot in his short career as a superhero. He’s discovered the Cave of Wonders, battled giant glowing turkeys, and rescued a legendary creature. So when mysterious snow circles start appearing in the fields around Cranberry Flats, it looks like it’ll be business as usual. Except a voice in his dreams is warning him to ignore the circles. And when disaster strikes, Mik is faced with a number of tough choices - choices that make him begin to doubt himself and his decisions.

Mik Murdoch has swallowed the magical berry from the guardian of the Cave of Wonders and with it he's realized his dream to acquire superpowers. He's also realized what you wish for and what you get are often two different things. While Mik has superpowers, he's having a really hard time with control. In fact, he's starting to wonder whether being a boy superhero is a good thing or not. What's worse, his weird behaviour doesn't go unnoticed by his parents, who decide to take him away to the lake for the summer, assuming he needs time to unwind and relax.

Mik Murdoch is just a regular, everyday kid...until he decides it is his destiny to become a superhero. But, just how does one become a superhero anyway? Mik doesn't have any of the normal things that would fulfill his dream; he doesn't have special powers, billions of dollars, nor technology. He isn't even the world's greatest detective. It shouldn't be all that hard though, should it? People get super powers in the comic books all the time. So Mik tries everything he can think of to get powers. Radioactive bugs, super powered armor, and even putting on a cape so he can fly.
