About the Movie – The Plot
In a world that has completely forgotten Peter Parker exists, our hero has dedicated every second of his life to fighting street-level crime in New York City. However, the extreme isolation and the pain of seeing his friends, MJ and Ned, move on without him trigger a biological mutation in his arachnid DNA.
