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.
