The story concerns Perfectra, an artificially engineered superhero who has given up power and perfection to become a mother. Estranged from her daughter and battling against a no-longer-perfect physique, Perfectra — now called plain Jane — discovers that her daughter has been kidnapped by a canine-controlling criminal. Can this supermom stand by and let her daughter spend her life dangling in distress?
