discover he possesses unique superhero powers, which take them on an
adventure of humorous complications that ultimately change
Flora's life--and her outlook--forever.

FLORA: Superheroes stand watch when danger closes in, and save those
in need. But they have one thing in common... They never show up in the
real world......until Ulysses. Every superhero comes to us with a purpose.
We don¡¯t always see it at first, because we don¡¯t always know where to
look. PHYLLIS BUCKMAN: Flora! What is this?
FLORA: "I am Ulysses." "Born anew." Holy unanticipated occurrences!
