The Umbrella Academy is despondent following the near apocalypse created by one of their own and the death of their beloved mentor Pogo.

Trouble is--each of them is distracted by their own problems. The White Violin is bedridden. Rumor has lost her voice--the source of her power. Spaceboy has eaten himself into a near-catatonic state, while Number Five dives into some shady dealings at the dog track, and The Kraken starts looking at his littlest brother as the key to unraveling a mysterious series of massacres . . . all leading to a blood-drenched face-off with maniacal assassins, and a plot to kill JFK!
