Synopsis

After playing dead to survive a terrifying encounter high in the Rocky Mountains, 29 year-old Jack Ramsey discovers he is a ghostly, disembodied spirit with fantastic abilities, able to leave and return to his physical body at will. Test-flighting his new powers, Jack stumbles upon a villainous plot to destroy Boston, the Cradle of Democracy. Jack answers the call by drawing on his love of comic books and transforming into the superhero "Ram." Joining forces with a female assassin, Vonya, they struggle to save Boston and each other.
