Když Murph Cooper nastoupí uprostřed pololetí do nové školy, má velký problém. A nejenom s tím, kde bude sedět, jestli si udělá kamarády a jestli včas najde klučičí záchody. Jeho maminka ho totiž omylem zapsala do školy pro superhrdiny. A Murph, na rozdíl od nových spolužáků, co levou zadní ovládají počasí, vznáší se do vzduchu nebo umí vyčarovat koně, žádné zvláštní superschopnosti nemá.

Murph si rychle musí uvědomit, že je v jeho silách bojovat se zlem, i když je docela normální kluk.
