Cap is trapped in his eighteen year old pre-super soldier body when he joins a group of disaffected youths at a training camp where he hopes to find the Red Skull's daughter. Cap finds more than he bargained for as the camp is run by Mother Night who trains young thugs to hate and kill. Finding the Captain America uniform clinging to the skinny frame of the boy calling himself Roger Grant, Mother Night and her crew (including the aforementioned Skull's daughter) beat Cap beyond what his weak body can sustain.
