SYPNOSIS
The drama tells the story of people who "thought they were like everyone else... until they woke with incredible abilities". A Japanese office worker discovers that he can manipulate time. A struggling New York artist can paint the future. A discontented police officer in Los Angeles can hear the thoughts of others. A high school cheerleader discovers she is not able to be hurt physically and a single mom realizes she has a powerful alter ego. The premise is that these people have a role in "saving humankind".
According to the NBC website, not only do the characters discover what having superpowers means to them, but also uncover a larger picture of the origin of their superpowers. The characters eventually become involved in each other's lives as they attempt to evade the series antagonist. The antagonist wishes to harness their "super DNA" for his own ends. Together, they must find a way to "save the world".
