Have no fear! Help is . . . nowhere near. Terror reigns here, casting a gloom upon the once bright metropolitan of Elko, Nevada. Hundreds are missing, the city's superheroes are MIA, and it's all thanks to the Listeners, a millennia-old faction bent on world reconstruction. They are everywhere, they are many, and they are nigh unstoppable. But there just may be someone who can stop them against all odds--if he dares to fight. To the citizens of Elko, Waterman is the water-wielding superhero who disappeared after nearly purging the city of the diabolical Listeners. To his two surviving friends, he is Eric Atl, once a comrade and hero, now a man derelict by inconsolable grief and the Listeners' looming threat: We will kill everyone you love. So it is up to his friends to liberate Eric from his misery and convince him to wrestle with the darkness again. Only then can a long lost Aztec relic be uncovered and the Listeners be silenced. Only then can loved ones avenged and the good guy win. Only then can Water return.
