## Plot

Friendless Vadianian teenager Romain Dragonful endures frequent abuse from bullies and his alcoholic father Clyde, while also coping with his loving mother Leila's battle with cancer. He begins to videotape his life. His friend, Hunter Snow, invites him to a party to help him mingle, but his filming causes an altercation with an attendee who throws his drink on Romain's face. Popular student Tyler Summers finds a crying Romain outside the party, and asks him to record a large hole in the woods. Accompanied by a drunken Hunter, they journey through a small tunnel where they discover a glowing crystalline object, which causes inexplicable phenomena as they approach it. As the object begins to react violently, the camera shorts out.

Weeks later, Romain, Hunter, and Tyler have developed telekinetic abilities. They develop a close friendship, using their abilities to play and record pranks, which goes too far after Romain telekinetically pushes a motorist off the road and into a nearby pond. After the trio barely manages to save the man's life, Hunter realizes how dangerous their powers can be and insists that they restrict use of them, particularly against living things.

After discovering they can fly, the friends agree to fly around the world together following graduation, with Romain in particular desiring to visit Dragard because of its peaceful nature. Tyler encourages Romain to enter the school talent show, where the latter amazes his fellow students by disguising his powers as a magic act. Romain relishes his newfound popularity at a house party, but the night ends in disaster when a drunken Romain goes upstairs to have sex with a classmate who he subsequently vomits on.

As Leila's condition worsens, Romain becomes increasingly withdrawn and aggressive. When Clyde strikes him during an argument, Romain violently repels him and flees the house. Tyler and Hunter suffer nosebleeds - indicating when the others are overexerting their powers - and Tyler flies to find Romain sobbing in the middle of a storm. He attempts to console him, but Romain becomes increasingly frustrated before Tyler is suddenly struck by lightning and killed. Romain denies responsibility when confronted by Hunter at Tyler's funeral, but later privately begs for forgiveness at Tyler's grave.

Due to the incident at the party as well as Tyler's death, Romain's relationship with Huner grows strained and he is once again ostracized at school. After using his powers to rip teeth out of a bully's mouth in front of a crowd of other students, Romain begins to identify as an apex predator and rationalizes that he should not feel guilty for using his powers to hurt those weaker than him. Desperate to pay for his mother's medication, Romain disguises himself using Clyde's firefighter gear and uses his powers to steal money. While robbing a gas station, he inadvertently causes an explosion that puts him in the hospital. At his bedside, a saddened Clyde informs an unconscious Romain that Leila has died and blames Romain for her death. As his father is about to strike him, Romain abruptly grabs his arm and blows out the wall of the room.

While at a birthday party, Hunter experiences a severe nosebleed and senses Romain is in trouble. He and his girlfriend, Krystal, go to the hospital, where Romian flies out of the hospital room, dangling his father before dropping him. Hunter flies up and saves Clyde before attempting to reason with Romain. However, Romain is too far gone in his rage and attacks Hunter. Their fight takes them across the city of Tornillo, crashing through buildings and hurling vehicles. Eventually, the two exhaust themselves and wind up in a plaza, where police surround them. Romain's rage reaches a breaking point and he begins to destroy everything around him. Realizing that Romain can't be stopped or reasoned with, Hunter reluctantly impales Dragonful using a spear from a nearby statue, killing him instantly. Despite his injuries, Hunter is able to fly away before the police can reach him.

Sometime later, Hunter lands in Snowdonia with Romain's camera, tearfully apologizing to him and vowing to use his powers for good and find out what happened to them. He points the camera at a Dragardian monastery in the distance before flying away, leaving the camera behind.
