Westanian agent “Twilight” is tasked with spying on the leader of the National Unity party Donovan Desmond, a task that is seemingly impossible except for a single lead, Donovan’s son. If Twilight can approach him and pose as a parent, he can get unfettered access to Donovan, potentially shifting the tides and bringing about peace.
The only problem, Twilight doesn’t have a child, and before he gets a kid he also needs to have a wife to pose as a happy family before he can even think of approaching a child at a school. To do this he creates an alias called Loid Forger, and adopts a young girl named Anya and a lovely woman named Yor.
Unbeknownst to him though, his child happens to be a psychic that can read minds, and his wife is actually a professional assassin with incredible strength! Thus begins the wacky adventures of this family trying to live out their daily lives while hiding their extraordinary skills, all while saving the world in time for dinner!
