ABUSED BY HER HUSBAND ELI FOR YEARS, BETHANY IS AT THE END OF HER ROPE. AS HE HOLDS A GUN TO THE HUSBAND WHO VIEWS HER AS A TROPHY AND NOTHING MORE, SHE SUDDENLY TURNS THE WEAPON ON HERSELFWITH THE HOPE OF ENDING THE ABUSE FOREVER.

JOHN KNIGHT, THE HEAD OF ULTRA TECH HOSPITAL, IS USED TO SECRETS. A SCIENTIFIC GENIUS GIFTED WITH THE ABILITY TO FORESEE FUTURE EVENTS, JOHN IS ALREADY KNOWN FOR THE MIRACLES HE PERFORMS WITH PROSTHETIC RESEARCH. BUT AS AN EVIL MENACE TERRORIZES PARADIGM CITY, JOHN HURRIES TO CREATE A TEAM OF SUPERHEROES TO DEFEAT THE THREAT. MEANWHILE, BETHANY SURVIVES HER GUNSHOT WOUND BUT SOON REALIZES THAT SHE MAY NEVER ESCAPE ELI AND HIS MISSION TO CONTROL HER.
