Set in a world where humans and superheroes co-exist, a homicide detective whose powers were taken from him investigates crimes involving superhumans along with his partner.

What if the world were full of superheroes who aren't actually heroic at all? What if all their powers were just one more excuse for mischief, mayhem, murder, and endorsement deals? Enter the men and women of The Powers Division, the brave people in charge of protecting humans like us and keeping the peace over commercialized, God-like men and women who glide through the sky imposing their power over the mortals who both worship and fear them. Based on the graphic novel by Michael Avon Oeming and Brian Michael Bendis, the edgy, dramatic "Powers" follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker (Sharlto Copley) and Deena Pilgrim (Susan Heyward), who are assigned to investigate these cases.
