In an alternate reality, 4% of the world's population is born with special abilities. Most of these "specials" live under poverty line. Taylor, a "special" living way under the poverty line takes different construction jobs in order to support his family. One day after work, over payment issues, Taylor intentionally damages his employer's property. The police goes after Taylor and his friend, and just when the police is about to arrest Taylor, a fight erupts. A desperate young man possessing special powers clashes with a militarized police force after committing a petty crime.
