The Powells are about to go from ordinary to extraordinary.
After 16 years of marriage, Jim feels disconnected from his workaholic
wife, Stephanie, and two teenage children, Daphne and JJ.
To encourage family bonding time, Jim decides the family will join Stephanie
on her business trip to South America. When their plane crashes into the
Amazon River, they barely enjoy a moment to celebrate their survival before
returning to the grind of everyday life. But they will soon realize that their
lives have been forever changed. Each member of the family starts to show signs
of new, unique and distinct super powers.
Will their newfound abilities finally bring them together or push them further apart?
Jim feels powerless as he realizes his life is not turning out the way he planned.
His children are growing more independent, and his wife spends more time at the
office than home as she rockets up the corporate ladder. His job as a police sketch
artist only furthers his insecurities as he watches his peers fight crime and catch
criminals. However, when Jim discovers that the plane crash left him with the power
of super strength, he immediately feels a new sense of purpose and empowerment.
With the aid of his friend and confidant, George, he sets his sights on becoming a hero.
Stephanie struggles to balance her family life with working 80 hours a week as an
award-winning scientist. Her boss and mentor, Dr. Dayton King, continues to guide
and challenge Stephanie's research in the lab. While fearful of never finding balance
in her life, something remarkable happens. After the crash, she develops the power
of speed, which allows her to move effortlessly through her daily responsibilities.
Always the scientist, Stephanie immediately questions the phenomenon and demands answers.
She entrusts her lab tech, Katie, with her secret,
and the two begin to research the mystery behind the powers.
For 16-year-old Daphne and 14-year-old JJ, adolescence is hard enough.
Daphne dreads distraction from her own fabulousness, but that's exactly what happens
when she turns telepathic. Daphne hears other people's hopes, dreams, fears and joys,
whether she cares to or not. Younger brother JJ struggles constantly to satisfy his
parents and teachers as he grapples with a learning disability and bad grades.
Already feeling inferior to his popular sister and brilliant mom, JJ hits a new
low when everyone acquires powers except him,
until suddenly JJ's mental abilities strengthen to a super genius level.
For the Powells, embarking on a mission to understand their new abilities becomes the
key to rebuilding their family life, as they learn what defines and unifies them.
Despite the fact they can collectively lift a car, run at lightning speed,
read your mind and calculate the dimensions of the Eiffel Tower,
all before you say "superhero",
they are first & foremost an average family with everyday problems.
