Billy Winters is just your average Boston teenager. Well, maybe he likes comic book hero Red Valor a little too much, but that doesn’t interfere with his fast-food job at BurgerLand or his current crush on beautiful redhead Isabelle Corbett. One fateful day, however, Billy becomes something better than average.
A fire breaks out at BurgerLand, and Billy channels Red Valor to rescue a co-worker. He instantly becomes a media darling and is branded a hero. Billy basks in the limelight for as long as it lasts—which isn’t long at all. People are moving on to the next big thing, the next headline, and Billy doesn’t like it one bit.
Billy knows he’s been a hero all his life, and if people won’t recognize that on their own, then he’ll just have to show them again.
A mixture of drama, action, and suspense, Headline follows the paths of a troubled adolescent who will do anything for glory and the newspaperman who is responsible for Billy’s downward spiral. Inevitably the salvation of both their souls will come down to a single decision: an act of desperation and madness that will define true heroism.
