Daniel DosSantos is a young man living at the speed of life, with his job, girlfriend, and video games. After gaining powers from exposure to an extraterrestrial object, DosSantos becomes the rapid-action superhero called Accell, the first of a new public kind of crime fighter and bad guy smasher. Unfortunately, there are consequences to moving faster than sound. Every time Accell uses his super speed powers, the results of super speed activity on his body come back in the form of massive muscle-tearing and bone-shattering internal damage . . . and that's the least of his worries. The father of Accell's girlfriend wants him dead and is sending one mercenary after another to kill the young speedster. In the aftermath of a battle, Accell tries to test the limits of his power and finds out the true nature of traveling at super speed, and the other dimension beyond and parallel to our own. The return from that harrowing experience makes Accell reevaluate everything. The way he's living without responsibility, without serious thought, without knowing his purpose. Daniel is starting to run on the road of maturation, as pushing his own limits forces him to consider things greater than himself. Danger exists on the flip side of having superpowers, and sometimes you have to grow up quickly to survive.
Running faster than the speed of sound and beating up bad guys on the weekends sounded like the high life, right? That's what Daniel Dos Santos first thought when he put on the costume. Now Daniel is finding out things aren't so simple. With new faces showing up on the block offering both aid and harm, is Daniel ready for the next set of challenges that face him?
aniel Dos Santos just wants everything to go back to normal. His life is way too chaotic, and life would be much simpler if it would slow down. Too bad slowing down is the last thing he can do. Danny Dos Santos may be tired of being the superhero speedster Accell, but the superhero life isn't easily ignored. When the criminal underworld is poised for a dramatic shakeup and military experiments rampage through the streets, you can't just turn a blind eye, can you? Or is donning the suit just putting a target on his back for more prepared players?
Daniel Dos Santos is learning the hard way that not every problem can be left in the dust. When your own body starts attacking you, there's no avoiding it! Turns out there are unintended consequences when your body becomes capable of supersonic speeds. Will Daniel continue to push himself to his limits even if it means the end of life as he knows it? Or do even superheroes have to face their own mortality?
