One moment, one mistake, changed Jolene Faraday's life forever. Devoted entirely now to bringing down the super villain known as Killjoy, she spends every waking moment working toward his downfall - and the rest of the time trying to come to terms with what her life has become. Somebody's about to have a bad day... Nightmares, guilt, and questions of her own morality notwithstanding, Jolene, A.K.A. Daystar, is becoming the hero she swore she'd be, and StrikeForce, under Portia's leadership, is earning a measure of respectability from friend and foe alike. That is, until questions about Jolene's involvement in a certain super villain's death come to light, along with increasing pressure for her to answer questions about her shadowy past. All of it is background noise, a distraction from her hunt for Killjoy and his team. And when they threaten yet another person she cares for, Jolene becomes nothing less than Killjoy and company's worst nightmare.
