SYNOPSIS:

Derek comes from an affluent and loving family, and life is good. But, when he loses his twin, Ethan to a high school shooter, he must face “Ethan” everywhere he goes. His parents and their failing marriage, nor their new foster family can replace Ethan and they go their separate ways. Derek realizes exhaustion is the only escape from Ethan, and loses himself in a trust fund fueled fitness obsession. Banned from every sport facility, Derek grows to heroic proportions at the cost of losing touch with others and his escape from Ethan. He finally accepts Ethan’s offer: Restore their extended family and Ethan will go. Alone, Derek struggles with the collision of his own fitness business and his unwilling transformation into a half-baked vigilante dubbed A-Man who’s focused on reuniting his family. Ethan guides A-Man to Trey, where A-Man stops a group of Hoodies trying to rob Trey. This leads to Belinda, saved from a gang rape. And these spark the interest of a cop named Shawn, and Shawn’s estranged, special needs brother, Rick, a follower of A-Man. And both become members of Derek’s business to regain their own relationship. A-Man then rescues his adopted brother Chris from suicide. While Shawn gets closer to A-Man’s secret I.D., Ethan leads A-Man to Raphael, who turns A-Man away after he destroys Raphael’s father’s drugs. A-Man, Ethan, Rick, Shawn, Raphael, and Raphael’s dad, known only by his prison name, the Butcher, clash in a public brawl over these drugs and for Raphael’s affection, and Rick saves A-Man from the Butcher. While A-Man mentally and physically recovers from the beating, Derek must give Shawn the run of his business during Shawn’s suspension from the brawl. Months pass and A-Man returns to his quest, but is instead coaxed by Rick to learn from his new fighting teacher, Teach. Shawn cracks A-Man’s secret I.D. while the Butcher comes close to his missing drugs. This lets Ethan guide A-Man and Rick, the “A-Men”, on an assault with the Butcher and his Hoodies over Raphael in an abandoned subway terminal. But, Derek realizes he’ll need a new tactic to win Raphael back, and gathers his very special step brother, Ben. A random bus encounter with Amy, an abused girl starting over, brings a nice distraction to the hard truth: A-Man is a public fugitive. Shedding his vigilante costume and name, he brings Ben to the Butcher’s bowling alley hangout to win back Raphael. A-Man and Shawn stop the Butcher, Oscar, and his Hoodies while Ben takes Raphael home. And with Derek’s and Shawn’s families restored, heroes and villains part ways. But, every action has an equal and opposite reaction: Rick has resumed the A-Man mantle, the menace known as Payback is born as an accident from the A-Man and Butcher brawl, and A-Man rescues Amy from her abusive relationship.
