Miles Morales carries the weight of two worlds on his shoulders. By day, he's a Harlem teenager navigating the pressures of elite boarding school and a fractured family. By night, he becomes something impossible—a conduit of raw electrical power wrapped in red and blue, swinging through the city's darkest corners. When a new threat emerges from the shadows of his neighborhood, Miles faces an impossible choice: protect his identity or save the people he loves. The city demands a hero. His family demands a son. And Miles discovers that the greatest power isn't the venom coursing through his veins—it's the courage to become the hero Harlem desperately needs, even if it costs him everything.
