A lighthearted action-comedy about an underemployed actor who stumbles into vigilantism and discovers the gap between superhero fantasy and messy reality.

An idealistic but struggling actor finds his life unexpectedly complicated when he stops a robbery while wearing the costume of Captain Avenger, a superhero character of a film he is hired to promote. He decides to dabble at being a superhero only to find that it is more difficult and dangerous than he ever imagined.
