When a clone threatens to tear her city apart, can a failed superhero rise to the challenge?

After losing a loved one during her first major defeat at the hands of the supervillain, Arson, Grace hung up her suit. But when a laboratory experiment goes wrong, creating a homicidal Beacon clone who threatens to tear the city apart, only the real Beacon can stop her. Now, Grace must overcome her tragic past, reclaim her reputation, and save her beloved city – and herself.
