Shawn tells us that Logan is an undersized 12-year-old orphan with a photographic memory and zero filter. He has no expectations of ever being adopted and spends his spare time searching for the younger sibling he believes is still out there. But when he’s fostered by a kind, suburban couple who are clearly hiding something from him, Logan’s logical mind won’t stop until he uncovers the  super-secret truth; superheroes are real… and his new foster folks are actual superhumans.
