THE GIFTED tells the story of a suburban couple whose
ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess
mutant powers. REED (Stephen Moyer, SHOTS FIRED, “True Blood”) and CAITLIN (Amy
Acker, “Person of Interest”) STRUCKER are typical middle-class parents dealing
with the realities of raising a family. However, when their teenage kids,
LAUREN (Natalie Alyn Lind, GOTHAM) and ANDY (Percy Hynes White, “Night at the
Museum 3”), are involved in an incident at their high school which reveals they
are mutants, Reed and Caitlin do all in their power to protect their children.
Forced to go on the run, the Struckers must leave behind their old lives to
flee from a relentless government agency that tracks down mutants, the Sentinel
Services, which includes Agent JACE TURNER (Coby Bell, “Burn Notice”).
Complicating matters further is the fact that Reed is a prosecutor in the
district attorney’s office tasked with going after mutants. Desperate and running
low on options, the family’s only choice is to contact an underground network
that helps mutants in trouble. The mutants in the network – ECLIPSE / MARCOS
DIAZ (Sean Teale, “Reign”), BLINK / CLARICE FONG (Jamie Chung, GOTHAM), POLARIS
/ LORNA DANE (Emma Dumont, “Aquarius”) and THUNDERBIRD / JOHN PROUDSTAR (Blair
Redford, “Satisfaction”) – are dealing with their own issues. With one of their
members in prison and their team possibly compromised, they face an uncertain
future in a world that looks increasingly dangerous for mutants.
