Code 8 takes place in a world where 4% of the population are born with some type of supernatural ability. Instead of being billionaire superheroes, most “specials” live in poverty and resort to crime, forcing the police to become more militarized.

After a dispute over payment, he finds himself in a confrontation with a police officer (Sung Kang) and the autonomous robots backing him up. The film also stars Aaron Abrams (Hannibal, Blindspot), Chad Donella (Scandal), and Alfred Rubin Thompson (Club Dead).
