Anne Henderson, dont les super pouvoirs lui ont conféré l'immortalité il y a des millénaires, est l'une des rares personnes au courant que l'agence gouvernementale dirigée par le Dr Jacob Globe a été reconvertie dans un but pervers. Globe traque des humains aux superpouvoirs, mais pas pour les aider. Son ambition est d'apprendre le secret de leurs pouvoirs, de les donner ou les prendre selon son bon désir. Anne travaille aux côtés de plusieurs autres personnes de son genre, ainsi qu'avec l'inspecteur de police Frank Massey, qui a suivi l'émergence des supers, pour sauver ceux que Globe a capturés et pour exposer ses activités au monde entier. Tandis que Globe consolide son pouvoir, il envisage de l'étendre encore afin de devenir le prochain maire de Seattle, en créant un mouvement contre ces humains aux superpouvoirs. La résistance est encore divisée et doit faire face à des persécutions quotidiennes et même à des arrestations, alors que Globe emploie un pirate informatique surdoué pour accuser un homme innocent d'un acte de terreur. Mais certains des supers qu'il a capturés, sont conservés sous sédatifs pour des expériences, laissant à Anne et à ses alliés, un choix cornélien: laisser le monstre s'épanouir ou perdre un autre d'entre eux.

Anne Henderson, i cui poteri sovrumani le hanno conferito l'immortalità millenni fa, è una delle poche persone consapevoli che l'agenzia governativa gestita dal Dr. Jacob Globe sia stata subdolamente deviata a scopi malvagi. Globe sta ancora rintracciando esseri umani dotati di superpoteri, ma non per aiutarli. La sua ambizione è scoprire il segreto dietro i loro poteri e poterli usare o eliminarli a suo piacimento. Anne lavora insieme ad altri come lei, nonché al detective di polizia Frank Massey, che sta seguendo l'emergere dei supereroi, per salvare coloro che Globe ha preso e per mettere in luce le sue attività al mondo.Mentre Globe consolida il suo potere, ha in programma di estenderlo ulteriormente cercando di diventare il prossimo sindaco di Seattle, basando la sua campagna su una piattaforma anti-supereroi. La resistenza è ancora dispersa e affronta la persecuzione quotidiana e persino l'arresto, poiché Globe impiega abili hacker per incastrare un uomo innocente per un atto di terrorismo. Ma alcuni dei supereroi catturati e sedati sono tenuti in quel modo per una ragione, lasciando ad Anne e agli altri che combattono Globe una scelta impossibile: lasciare che un mostro prosperi o liberarne un altro contro di lui.

Anne Henderson, whose super powers granted her immortality millennia ago, is one of the few people aware that the government agency run by Dr. Jacob Globe has been subverted to an evil purpose. Globe is still tracking down super-powered humans, but not to help them. His ambition is to learn the secret behind their powers, and give or take them at will. Anne works alongside several others of her kind, as well as police detective Frank Massey who has been following the emergence of supers, to rescue those that Globe has taken and to expose his activities to the world. While Globe consolidates his power, he plans to extend it even further in a bid to become Seattle's next mayor, on an anti-super platform. The resistance is still scattered and faces daily persecution and even arrest as Globe employs skilled hackers to frame an innocent man for an act of terror. But some of the supers he's captured and sedated are kept that way for a reason, leaving Anne and the others fighting Globe an impossible choice: to let one monster flourish, or loose another against him.

Andy Kitz tracked a series of strange events, and now knows the world is full of super-powered people. Having worked with a few supers, including a former street thug looking for redemption, he wants to help those who would protect the city and stop anyone, powered or not, who would harm innocents. But now he's one of only a few who know that the secret government agency run by Dr. Jacob Globe is not about merely trying to eliminate dangerous powers, but capturing supers for study so he can learn to give and take power at will. There are supers with powers beyond comprehension, and Globe's machinations could result in victims that he has no hope of controlling. The world watches the fallout of supers versus non-supers, and the city of Seattle is caught up in the crossfire between factions who believe that their way is the only way forward. But in a time where neighbors resort to reporting suspicious activity to settle grudges, Seattle is a powder keg awaiting a spark. What happens in Seattle will have lasting ramifications across the globe.
