Premise
Set within the MCU, the series follows the daily lives of the employees of Damage Control whose job is to clean up after major incidents that are usually the result of the superheroes and villains that populate the world. While the main crew are committed to their jobs, they are not above goofing off and looking for any excuse to either get away from work or, better yet, personally explore the things that they are supposed to either be archiving or quarantining from the rest of the world.

Season one deals with a conspiracy within the company as someone is stealing funds and distributing them to villainous factions and Chapel and Porter's attempt to find the culprit. Major subplots involves Cleary's attempt to get into the good graces of Ms. Hoag, Bart searching to be more than an intern and Griffin trying to be taken seriously as a superhero despite his stigma.
