Twelve years after the events of The Boys, Hughie finds himself back home in Scotland where he intends to finally marry Annie in the company of friends and family. But the sudden appearance of a peculiar document sends our hero into a tailspin and threatens to bring the events of his nightmarish past crashing down on him in the worst possible way. There was one story about The Boys that Hughie never knew. Now, whether he likes it or not, he’s going to.

As Hughie’s discoveries take him down a highly dangerous rabbit hole, what he learns about the good old days reveals a strangely conflicted Butcher- at the worst possible time, as the Boys investigate a particularly insidious supe threat.

Hughie fills Annie in on some of the CIA’s anti-supe tactics in the years since the Boys were last around, but she has some pressing questions of her own. As Butcher finds himself in a sticky spot with the Children of Stormfront, he realizes Becky’s influence is a good deal harder to escape than he’d thought.

Butcher risks a collision course with Mallory, as he exploits a voice on the inside of Vought's latest superhero operation. But his memories of Becky make the dangerous game he's playing all the more difficult. Hughie, meanwhile, is pushing his luck in another way entirely...
