Trailer
Crime is on the rise in the city. An old man saves a kid in his neighborhood from dangerous people. The kid is convinced that it was Samaritan, an old-timey superhero, who saved him. But no one believes him because Samaritan is considered to be dead for 25 years. On his search for the superhero, the kid realises that his old neighbour is much stronger than someone his age would be.
