Summaries

The world's first deaf superheroes with superpowers through the use of sign language.

Tom Clerc, a NYC deaf secret agent, who has lost his superpowers after a battle with his hero-turned-villain brother, is sent along with his colleague Ken Wong to Osaka, Japan, to investigate a spate of crimes that seem to have connections to gene mutations. Their investigation leads them to deaf criminal Tatsumi Fuwa, who has learned to harness the mutations to rise to power.—Kris

As Japanese police investigate a series of murders in which the victims have apparently been shot with invisible bullets, the perpetrator is ultimately discovered to possess a genetic mutation triggered by "an evolutionary response to centuries of social and linguistic oppression."—MR

The plot centers on an international band of deaf people, who, thanks to a genetic mutation, can channel superpowers through their use of sign language. The independent film is a fast-paced, genre-bending romp, shot on three continents with a cast made up entirely of deaf actors and CODAs.—Coby
