In a world where superpowers exist, an explosion in the city of Empire resulted in the death of many affected individuals. However, miraculously, some people survived and gained superpowers. They are known as Conduits. Each Conduit possesses a unique power, depending on their genetic makeup. Seven years later, a government organization called the Department of United Protection apprehended and regulated the movements of Conduits around the city. Seattle is one of the cities under their control.
