When suburban parents Reed and Caitlin Strucker discover their teenage children have manifested dangerous mutant abilities, their comfortable life shatters overnight, forcing the whole family to flee a government determined to hunt mutants down. Set in a corner of the X-Men universe where Charles Xavier's dream has faded, the series follows the Struckers as they take shelter with a battered underground network of mutants fighting to survive persecution. What begins as a desperate escape deepens into a story of prejudice, loyalty and the fragile alliances that form when society turns on its own. Grounded and character-driven, it treats superpowers as both a gift and a target.
