When a witness is inexplicably murdered in a locked room at a federal courthouse, Dr. Lee Rosen is put on the case. He leads a team of "Alphas", human beings with enhanced abilities due to differences in their brain structure: Gary Bell, a highly functioning autistic with an ability to process information that rivals most computers; Bill Harken, a former FBI agent who can amp up his "fight or flight" reflex, giving him extraordinary strength for a brief period of time; Nina Theroux, a beautiful woman who can reprogram other people's minds to do as she bids; and Rachel Pirzad, a sheltered Persian girl who can intensify one sense at the expense of the others. However, with said powers comes a price - for Gary, autism which makes him a child for all intents and purposes; for Harken, severe anger issues that cost him his job and family; for Rachel, struggling to overcome her parents shame at her "illness"; and Nina, never really knowing how those close to her actually feel. In any case, they've all come together for the common good with Rosen as their mentor, teaching them to further control their abilities with each passing day. As for the courthouse murder, it's not long before the team uncovers that one of their own kind was responsible - Cameron Hicks, a former Marine sharpshooter with supernatural balance and aim (he guided the bullet through a ventilation duct). After bringing him in, however, they realize someone even more powerful was pulling the strings... someone with a new technology that can be used to mimic one of the team's gifts.

Azita Ghanizada as Rachel Pirzad

Warren Christie as Cameron Hicks

Laura Mennell as Nina Theroux

Malik Yoba as Bill Harken

This show looks amazing! :D
eeeeek, so excited.

It's finally a superhero show that actually has some science behind it, and doesn't rely on huge flashy effects that take a huge budget.

The preview in the movie theaters looked pretty cool and at least it has some hot girls in it so it can't be all that bad.

Interesting but probably will just come off as a very watered down superhero inspired show in plain clothes.

Also real science Cherry? I doubt it. I dont think someone would be super strong because of "different brain structures"

Th whole premise sounds like a mutants ala xmen. But instead of some xfactor gene its just different brainstructures.

@CherryBomb Good call on that. The side effects aspect is also intriguing.

Move over no-name superhero TV series, don't crowd the spaces reserved for Marvel and DC TV heroes.

Superhero tv shows are a dime a dozen. Their main problem is that they try to appease to all audiences and it just doesn't work. Scyfy needs to devlope a show that can appease to the audience that can appreciate it, nerds.

Why is that most of black male superhero's powers are mostly always based on their physicality? It's more or less physical strength and nothing more. I know that's not the case with every black male superhero. But it is the case with most of them.

why dont they start making superhero shoes that they look silly in cool outfits, instead of always making them look normal and stuff. super hero stuff should be silly and fun (:

It certainly has a Heroes vibe going for it, but since Zak Penn is mainly behind it, I'm looking forward to it considering he's got experience with comic book related live action adaptations. Yeah he did bad with X-Men 3, but he did a very solid job with The Incredible Hulk, plus he was involved with the story of X2 in some way, so it can't be a coincidence that Alphas also feels a bit like X-Men, but it looks like it's got potential to be exciting and engaging all on it's own.

Also seems to be a bit of a coincidence that David Straithairn, character's name is Dr. Leigh, an older normal man responsible for super powered beings, resembles Stan Lee.
