About The Story
Sam Perez and Maxwell Esprit have been lifelong friends. Nothing's come between them: none of the girls she's been with, none of the boys he's liked, nobody. They’ll do anything with each other, even join an evil supervillain organization together. The greater freedoms, mixed with a pinch of danger, are the perfect ingredients to allure the young and the desperate into the life of a henchman. With this perilous opportunity, however, comes the burdens of keeping their true identities secret, escaping the prying eyes of the law, and surviving in a world out for blood. Sam and Maxwell will be pushed to their breaking points in an ultimate test of their lasting bond. Life is a game, and villains play for keeps.
Full name: Samantha Medina Perez
Age: 22
A prideful thrillseeker who wants nothing more than to show the world what she’s made of. After being fired from countless dead-end jobs, Sam is putting all her hopes on becoming a supervillain so that she can reach her dream of gaining a superpower. Or better yet, becoming queen bitch of the world!
Full name: Maxwell Esperit
Age: 22
Confident pretty boy in appearance, but shy in personality. Though Maxwell is generally polite, he isn’t unwilling to gossip or say something nasty behind one’s back with his best friend Sam. Which, of course, fits appropriately along the career path of a fledging supervillain henchman.
