Code 8

In a world where 4% of the population are born with superpowers, they are marginalized and feared, living in poverty and often resorting to crime. Connor, a man with electrical abilities, needs money to pay for his daughter's medical treatments and is drawn into a criminal enterprise led by Garrett, a drug dealer who supplies a dangerous new drug made from the unique blood of 'Urfits' (people with powers). As Connor gets deeper into the criminal underworld, he faces pressure from both the authorities and the criminals, forcing him to confront his morality and the consequences of his choices.
