When a botched bank robbery lands Ethan, a.k.a. Scam, in deep trouble, he has no choice but to call on the other "Zeroes" - a group of superpowered California teenagers with abilities as diverse as their personalities. Reluctantly reunited under their former leader Nate, the Zeroes find themselves propelled into a whirlwind of high-stakes encounters with increasingly dangerous criminals. At the heart of the chaos is Kelsie, whose power to control crowds may be the key to restoring order - or unleashing total mayhem.
