One morning in May 2001, after a nighttime party imbibing home-brewed beer, a quintet of college housemates awakens to find they have developed superpowers. For Charlie, it’s telepathy; for his roommate, superspeed; while the three ladies who live downstairs add to the mix incredible strength, invisibility, and flying.
