The Cape - 1 ª Season

Together, they must battle Ark corporation billionaire Peter Fleming -- The Cape's nemesis -- who moonlights as the twisted killer "Chess."

The Cape must battle Chess and his latest accomplice Cain -- a/k/a Chef -- as they try to take down the Patrick Portman, the Secretary for the Bureau of Prisons, in an attempt to take over Palm City's jails. After narrowly escaping death, The Cape must rely on Orwell, Max Malini and the circus gang to nurse him back to health and then help him save Patrick before it is too late.

Vince fights to protect his new friends from an old pal of Max's who comes in search of the Cape. Meanwhile, Dana returns to work at the public defender's office. Peter and Marty try to determine Orwell's real identity.

When "The Cape" tips off Dominic Raoul -- aka Scales -- that Peter Fleming has been extorting money from him, Scales heads to a costume party on a train to confront Fleming.

Meanwhile, Dana and Trip must endure scrutiny and taunts while trying to deal with their loss.

Tracey Jerrod -- aka Dice -- a young savant and inspiration for the device, emerges and targets Chess to avenge her father's death. Realizing he must keep his enemy alive in order to fully destroy him, Vince -- aka The Cape -- suddenly finds himself defending his archnemesis. With the help of Rollo, Ruvi, Raia and Max, Vince attempts to master new skills and also tries to accept how his choices will affect his wife, Dana and son, Trip.
