After the comics spread across the city of San Francisco, Mike, a shy 13-year-old boy, ends up crossing paths with one of Scott's creations, the story of "Crying Man". Uttering the hero's name, the youngster ends up summoning Crying Man himself in the flesh. 

Soon, other heroes from Scott's comics begin to appear around the city in response to the calls of their new holders, who take the name 'the Readers'. However, strange events start to occur when the heroes begin to fulfil the orders of their holders.
