Technology colossus, Quantum Electronics and Devices (Q.E.D.), has a stranglehold grip on the world economy, forcing its technology into every home and business around the world. The company board of directors, president, and CEO, Monica Stokes, will go to any length to keep the company profitable and on top, sacrificing anyone who can do that for them, or gets in their way.
This has been a hard lesson for a meek person like Luke Peterfeso. He is five years into a 10-year contract with the company and hates the company. Every time he’s about to finish a product that would get the attention of the board, CEO Monica Stokes swoops in to steal it from him and take his credit. When she orders him to hand over his latest product, he swipes a couple of the devices and agrees to team up with his lab partner to finish the project and prove himself to the board.
But his partner betrays him, and he is murdered. When he wakes seven months later, he learns that he and six others have been revived from death by the one thing that has helped Q.E.D. control the technology market – a quantum computer called BRINDA. The machine has become sentient and has foreseen Q.E.D. destroying humanity. She has brought these seven together, with their new superpowers to save the world.
Before they can do that, they must first believe her and work together. That may prove more than this dysfunctional team of superheroes is up for.
