Miles Morales balances school and heroics as Brooklyn's Spider-Man. A reunion with Gwen Stacy sends him into the wider Multiverse, where he meets the Spider Society, a team charged with protecting its existence. When a new threat emerges, the heroes clash on how to handle it. Miles learns that his father's fate is tied to a key event, and he refuses to accept that outcome. He sets out on his own to save those he loves, even if it means fighting the other Spiders.
