Barber Shop

# Augusta Heroes: Story Description In 1955 America, one in every hundred people possesses powers—not for superheroics, but for everyday work. Those with extraordinary abilities can become heroes through the Sidekick-to-Citizenship Program, where immigrants serve established heroes to earn their place in American society. Turbo Blaze arrives in segregated Augusta, Georgia, from Hungary with fire-trail flight powers and unwavering determination. Partnered with Blue Bubble and Wingman for neighborhood patrol, he quickly discovers that having powers doesn't protect you from prejudice. When white barbershops turn him away, he finds unexpected acceptance in the Black community at Crossroads Barbershop, where warmth and humor create the family he never expected. But Augusta is on the brink of war. Four factions battle for control of valuable riverfront land, each with their own powered individuals. As mysterious bombings target heroes and police, Turbo Blaze finds himself caught between his loyalty to his fellow heroes and his growing connection to a community fighting for survival. In a city where invisible lines divide people by race, class, and origin, one young immigrant must choose where his true allegiance lies when the shooting starts. *A story of belonging, prejudice, community, and the courage to stand up for what's right.
