The series reinvents the superhero concept by eliminating the ideas of "super villains" or other arch nemeses and focuses on the struggle of one person, Ethan, who discovers he has an incredible amount of power.
This power begins to eat away at Ethan. His already strained family relationship is pushed to the breaking point, people around him try to manipulate him and use his power for their own benefit, and the harder he tries to fix things the more they fall apart.
Ignited by a remarkably talented cast, the thematic elements of corruption, betrayal, and unintended consequences are portrayed with gritty realism and leave the audience on the edge of their seats.
