Plot summary[]

Ray lives in Dunmanor, a retirement home of International Superhero Federation in Ireland. He is bittered by the fact that the public has largely forgot him, and even his own grandchildren are rather fond of a new superhero Celestro.

During the birthday party of one of the residents, Hurricane Jane, Jerry gets out of control. The incident prompts Alicia, the facility's warden, to have Jerry's powers downwardly managed. A short time after the procedure Jerry dies making Ray suspicious. When Dunmanor's residents attend Hero Day at the nearby town, Ray spots some youths using Jerry's powers. Thinking that the administration of the retirement home is stealing and selling superpowers Ray asks Celestro for help, but he doesn't want to get involved. So Ray and his former sidekick Ted sneak off the bus to investigate. They are trying to tail the youths and end up spoiling a car theft. Their misinterpreted actions are covered in a local newspaper. Alicia announces that Ray will be downwardly managed. The other residents are tested for their power control level and almost all ordered to be downwardly managed too.

Ray's friends don't believe in a conspiracy behind this, but Ted finds papers mentioning a person with an ability to absorb superpowers and blueprints of an unknown machine in the administration office. Ray confronts Alicia with this information, but have no evidence. He is prepared to the procedure. Meanwhile, Ray's friends see one of the orderlies levitating via Jerry's powers. It is revealed that orderly Flynn has the power-absorption ability, which Alicia uses for her machine. To get some extra money Flynn sold a bit of Jerry's extracted powers as a drug to the locals. Alicia sends Flynn to get all the vials back. While the other residents stalling the personnel, Ray, Pendle, Madera and Ted start to chase Flynn, but unable to go past the security lasers, which Brian and Windsor couldn't shut down. After Dolores freezes the surrounding moat, the elderly superheroes finally leave the guarded territory and take a taxi to the youth club.

There they find the delinquent who was buying the drug and interrogate him. He directs them back to the retirement home, where Alicia has already apprehended the rest of the residents. She transfers Flynn's power to herself and starts to absorb powers of the superheroes. Alicia reveals that her parents died in a collapsed building destroyed in one of Ray's battles with supervillains. Her plan is to combine all superpowers and mother a powerful super-being who will be able to defeat other superpowered individuals. Ray and his friends lose fight with Alicia, but her body can't stand so many different superpowers and disintegrates. The superheroes celebrate their victory and hold a press conference.
