That is, until he becomes the target of the most infamous assassin in the world, whose presence in Golden City forces him to go on the run. Even with the arrival

But when a legendary retired superhero shows up and offers to help Beams capture the killer, Beams thinks they might just defeat the serial killer after all.

Yet things are not as simple as they seem, because the retired superhero seems to have ulterior motives for helping Beams, and if Beams doesn't uncover them quickly, both he and Rubberman will die.

When aliens suddenly start abducting cows from local ranches, however, Beams finds himself thrown into a web of intrigue, government agents, and secrets related to the origin of Rubberman himself.

Now Beams must find a way to stop this mad woman while keeping his family, job, and employer safe. But with Beams' enemies closing in on all sides, this may be the end of the road for the young hero, whose decisions will impact not merely his own fate, but the destiny of everyone he loves and cares about as well.
