New York descends into paranoia as elaborate, hyper-realistic crimes plague the city monsters, false heroes, and mass hallucinations that leave civilians dead and reputations shattered. At the center of the chaos is Dr. Johnathon Ohnn, a disgraced scientist turned illusionist known as Mysterio, who seeks to prove that truth is just another lie people choose to believe. As Spider-Man is framed for crimes he didn’t commit, his relationships fracture. Maya Johnson fears the danger of staying close to him, Normie Osborn questions Jaime’s honesty, and the city driven by J. Joanne Jameson’s relentless broadcasts turns on its masked protector. Meanwhile, Electro emerges as a violent wildcard, feeding on the city’s chaos. Spider-Man / Jaime Santiago must confront a villain who doesn’t want to kill him only break him. As illusions blur truth and lies, Jaime walks a dark path where being a hero may cost him everything.
