Summary:

Prompted by a mysterious summons from his past, a man known only as "The Super" begins an investigation into maternal neglect by a privileged Toronto family. As the case deepens, revealing a web of systemic crime and depravity, The Super undertakes a series of <i>adjustments:</i> his word for the personal interventions that he conducts on behalf of the powerless. These increasingly chaotic retributions soon pull him into a spiral of brutal violence. Working within six-to-eight week windows of "hyper-time" - periods of near-sleepless activity and hyper-awareness that precede his own mental collapse - The Super draws closer to the heary of the case he was called upon to resolve. But at what cost to his own sanity?
