The Capes: Sometimes the Good Guys Just Show Up

by Jesse Smith

The Capes is about four friends of different backgrounds and varying levels of success and failure. They suddenly find themselves dressing up as comic book superheroes and interacting with the children and their parents at a hospital. The majority of the children start to get better. The four friends had no idea how much it would change them. An angel named Sam occupies the background and helps out where he can, the four cope with loss, tragedy, success, and acts of amazement that can only have the hands of a higher power involved. The whimsical, good-hearted friends do more than just save the day from saving childrens lives to simply making them laugh. The four friends do just as much for the well-being of the children of this hospital as the physicians trying to make them better. The heroes end up rescuing a girl on a ledge, fighting off drug dealers, a daring rescue of financial impossibilities, and while discovering they have help from above. The Capes has an explosive ending that will have you grabbing at your heart and knowing that it works.
