Valiant 2012
In a shed in the backwoods of Northern Georgia lives a meek, sequestered teen named John Torkelson. Raised just this side of feral, and on a steady diet of MMA and reality TV, fried catfish and Cheeto pie, heâs a firm believer that women should be seen and not heard (though he really hasnât met many). But when four strange, super-powered outlaw teenagers suddenly appear in the woods outside his shed, Torkelsonâs life takes a turn he couldâve never imagined. Now the boy his poppa called âStumpâ is about to become more man than he couldâve ever imagined. But thenâ¦what exactly is a âreal manâ? For that matter, whatâs a real hero? Only one thingâs certain, the Renegades are about to get a hell of a lot stronger.
