Plot summary
A child is born to a woman who dies due to the labor before said child is adopted, growing up and going to college with her adopted brother and two friends. In the meantime, a mysterious being awakens in a white void without any memories of who they are or how they got there. They escape this void by unwittingly making a portal and getting sucked in, getting deposited in a jewelry store, setting off the alarm, which brings a policeman, who the being again unwittingly portals away from.

At the college, the four students get out of class and go to work out at the track. Just as they've started their exercises, they begin to manifest powers. Mariana, formerly known as the child from earlier, accidentally burns down the field in the process as the others (Karl, Michael, and Michelle) just barely escape. Karl subconsciously uses his power to make it rain, causing Mariana's flame to go out. She's given the shirt and shorts off of Karl's body just as the mysterious being falls from a portal onto the bleachers, causing all five characters to come face to face.
