A darkly comedic superhero drama that uses college competition as a frame for exploring institutional corruption and moral compromise, balancing absurdist humor against genuinely bleak institutional violence.

At America's only college for superheroes, gifted students put their moral boundaries to the test, competing for the university's top ranking, and a chance to join The Seven, Vought International's elite superhero team. When the school's dark secrets come to light, they must decide what kind of heroes they want to become.
