Hardy (film)

Following Freed's development of the Rise Formula, 300 individuals were administered the mixture, in an attempt to create enhanced humans with abilities reaching superhuman levels. Of the 300 test subjects, 240 survived the injection. 
Though the subjects acquired superhuman levels of strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, durability and advanced healing capabilities, the overseers deemed the subjects to be too aggressive and unstable to "effectively" control once they entered "Berserk Mode". After reading the overseer's evaluations, Freed ordered the subjects to be disposed of. 
The subjects were executed and disposed of in an abandoned mine. The extent of the healing factor of one subject however was significantly greater than the others, which allowed him to survive.
* Lewis was born in Mintlace City, California.
* Parents are Arnold & Alice Crescent.
* Alice left her husband and son for a wealthier man, Clive Strummer, when Lewis was 13.
* Arnold agreed to sign the divorce papers but only if Alice promised to send Lewis birthday and Christmas cards. She does send cards and letters for these occasions but there is never any real love or genuine care within the words. Most of the time the cards and letters are filled with descriptions of how great Alice, Clive and their two children's lives are. Lewis hasn't opened any cards in years.
* Throughout his school years Lewis was never really a part of any group. He was a loner and an outsider, preferring to do be by himself. He was often the victim of bullying but never really endured much of the physical kind of harm.
* At 20 going on 21, Lewis works as a kitchen hand in a diner called Carl's Food Bar. He hasn't enough money for collage, his grades were fairly average and he hasn't found that career to strive for and work towards. He has hobbies and interests but he believes that he is not good enough at any of them to make a profit, not that any of them can generate a profit. He enjoys his job and the people he works with but knows it's not something that he wishes to do forever. He has a thing for one of the diner's waitresses, Naomi, a 19 year old black girl who is very friendly, sweet and outgoing. 
* When not working at Carl's he works at his fathers store, A. C. Florists, for free. The store isn't doing financially well and hasn't been doing well for a while. Due to this 'volunteer' job Lewis hardly has a social life. He does from time to time hang out with some people from work but these occasions are rarely.
# Lewis wakes up and goes to the gym. He has been going regularly since finishing high school but has failed to make any difference to his physique.
# Lewis starts his shift at Carl's, working in the kitchen. While working and during his break he talks with his workmates and admires Jade, one of the young waitresses. He is invited out to join some of the workers but says that he has to help out at his fathers store.
# Lewis arrives at his father's florist store, walking in on his father Arnold having a conversation with two men. Though his father keeps quiet about these things, Lewis knows that his dad has borrowed money from unsavoury people to stay afloat. The taller of the two men says that they will be back in a week. They both leave. Lewis doesn't ask any questions and just goes about his work. He and his dad eventually shut the shop. Arnold heads home, which is in the stores upper levels, while Lewis heads over to his grandmothers restaurant, the Full Table.
# During his break, Lewis is approached by his grandmother and they eat together. Lewis tells her everything that is going on, including the men who came to his fathers store. During his shift, his friend Cain appears and they catch up. Cain reveals that he is working at a "special club" and is making big money. He asks Lewis if he is still doing his art, which Lewis is. He then offers to get him an interview with the club owner, who needs a new room in the club painted. Lewis is interested and agrees to the interview.
