In contemporary South London, five seemingly ordinary Black Britons—each with a hidden family history of sickle cell disease—suddenly develop superpowers and must navigate lives turned upside‑down. They include a delivery driver, a nurse, a struggling father, a gang leader, and a street dealer, all trying to make sense of their new abilities while dealing with everyday pressures, loyalties and mistakes. As the powers escalate, a clandestine organisation emerges, intent on controlling or exploiting them, forcing the unlikely group of heroes to band together. Their journey evolves from individual survival to collective purpose—protecting their loved ones, uncovering the ties between their powers and their heritage, and deciding what it really means to be “super.” The series blends action and sci‑fi tropes with gritty realities of race, class and community, offering a fresh take on the superhero genre rooted in South London’s streets and mindset.
