The movie begins with a flashback of baby Charlie McGee in her crib. Charlie spontaneously sets the room on fire with her pyrokinesis powers, sending her father Andy McGee into a panic. The opening credits show a young Andy and Vicky talking to a doctor in a clinical trial, who explains to them that they will be injected with an experimental chemical known as Lot-6, which unbeknownst to them will give them supernatural powers. In the present day, Charlie is sitting at the kitchen table after having a nightmare. Her father and mother join her and Charlie explains that she has been repressing something bad, her powers becoming more unstable. Her father comforts her. Charlie unintentionally causes a ruckus at her school after exploding a bathroom stall due to anger at being bullied.
Andy is shown using his power, “the push”, to influence a client to stop smoking, although using his power causes his eyes to bleed from the strain. Meanwhile, in a secret facility, thermal signatures caused by Charlie’s outburst are being monitored by Captain Hollister, leader of the facility known as The Shop. She pays a visit to Doctor Joseph Wanless, creator of Lot-6 and the resulting superhumans, who implores Captain Hollister to terminate Charlie before her powers become too great. Captain Hollister enlists fellow superhuman John Rainbird to help with this task. Rainbird visits the McGee home, confronting Vicky who attempts to fight him off using her repressed telekinetic powers. Rainbird overpowers her and kills her, holding Charlie at knifepoint as she and Andy enter the home. Charlie’s powers get the best of her and she sends a concussive burst of flames throughout the house. Andy and Charlie escape into their truck.
