本剧曾荣获英国影视艺术学院颁发的2010电视BAFTA电视奖。 五个少年犯在做社区服务的时候，突然下起了超大的冰雹，就在他们冲回社区服务中心的时候，五人和他们的缓刑执行官被闪电击中了。随后，五人发现他们身上出现了奇怪的变化，强硬的凯莉（劳伦·索恰 Lauren Socha 饰）可以听到别人的想法；蒙羞的运动员科提斯（内森·斯图尔特-贾瑞特 Nathan Stewart-Jarrett 饰）发现自己在后悔的时候可以回转时间；派对女孩艾丽莎（安东尼娅·托马斯 Antonia Thomas 饰），任何摸到她的人都会陷入强烈的性需求；羞涩的西蒙（伊万·瑞恩 Iwan Rheon 饰）可以隐身；而自以为是的内森（罗伯特·席安 Robert Sheehan 饰）却失望的发现自己仿佛没有能力。他们感到惊喜，更多的还是疑惑和苦恼，而上天赐予他们这些超能力的意义是什么呢？是惩治作恶的坏人？还是改变病态的社会？

Trevor is 'between jobs'. He spends his days avoiding his nagging heifer of a wife by hiding out in his allotment shed and painting figurines for his wargames with his agoraphobic friend, Graham, and dreaming of his heroic alter-ego, the battle mage Casimir the Destroyer. When Mr Parsons, one of the other allotment tenants, petitions to have Trevor removed from his disgrace of a plot (he's not there to grow stuff!) an argument ensues that leaves Trevor with a corpse to hide. Unfortunately, this untimely accident coincides with the zombie apocalypse and Mr Parsons' return is just the beginnings of Trevor's problems. More pressing is whether or not he should try and save his wife and her beautiful best friend, who both he and Graham have a thing for.
