In a world much like our own, 5% of America’s population are meta-humans cursed with useless and ludicrous powers. There is no cure, and there is no sympathy for any who has befallen this fate. Instead, society stigmatized those newly branded “Y-Gener’s”, treating the collective group as jokes with no real worth. It's here, amongst the prejudice and bias, that a teen super-team steps up to the plate — The Yoobies! Ready to show the world what they are really made of, that every person has worth, and that no labels can hold them back from being heroes!

The classic tale of Greek mythology, but 100 percent more awkwardly relatable. Hades is the officious, antisocial ruler of the Underworld. Persephone, daughter of Demeter, is an earth goddess of growth and renewal—they've been crushing on each other for the past two centuries. But when a festival (and a little liquid courage) present an opportunity to put an end to their olympian will-they-won't-they, a meddlesome pantheon and several titanic misassumptions threaten to give every god in the sky the wrong impression...and leave their romance dead before it can bloom.
