Five strangers, all with unique super-human powers, are called together to learn about their connected past as unknowing test subjects for a secret government project involving a mysterious alien crystal. They learn they are needed to stop the ongoing project in its tracks and prevent a terrifying new weapon of mass destruction from being created. Now, this 'team' of damaged people must learn how to work together and put aside their differences, something much more easily said than done, but just as they hit their stride, a new wrinkle threatens even greater devastation.
