Now in his mid-thirties, Peter Parker has finally built the life he always wanted: a loving marriage to Mary Jane, a five-year-old daughter named Mayday, and a fulfilling career as a science teacher at Midtown High. But behind closed doors, Peter remains Spider-Man, secretly protecting New York while trying to be the husband and father his family deserves. When a violent gang war erupts across the city, Spider-Man joins forces with his old ally Black Cat and police consultant Brett Mahoney to uncover the force manipulating the chaos. Their investigation leads them to Hammerhead, Rhino, and Scorpion, and ultimately reveals a far more dangerous mastermind operating from the shadows. As the criminal underworld closes in, Peter is forced to confront the hardest responsibility of all: protecting the city without losing the family and life he's spent years fighting to build.
