Synopsis
With Luke Cage finally exhonorated for a crime he didn't commit, lawyer Jeryn Hogarth throws a victory party for all of his friends. The party is crashed by Stiletto and Discus, Warden Stewart's super-powered sons, who are gunning for Cage as they feel he has ducked justice and flaunted the law. With four heroes in attendance (as well as their dad), this turns out to be a monumentally bad idea. Luke Cage joins Misty, Colleen and Danny in Nightwing Restorations.
