Synopsis/Details
"Power Couple" is a hilariously chaotic romantic comedy about Kya Hawthorne, a former superhero who once saved the world as the legendary SuperSonica. But after a tumultuous career as a young superdiva, marked by drama, scandal, and public missteps, Kya's illustrious superhero days are behind her. Now, decades later, she’s just an ordinary black woman trying to navigate life as a civilian. Kya has swapped her cape for a desk job, her high-flying days for quiet evenings on the couch, and—most importantly—she’s determined to keep her superhero past in the rearview mirror. All Kya wants is to blend in, find a little peace, and maybe even fall in love. Enter Dart, her sweet, unsuspecting new boyfriend who has no idea he’s dating a former world-saving, headline-making icon. Or does he? Everything is going great until Kya’s long-forgotten arch-nemesis reappears, stirring up trouble and threatening her attempts at a normal life. As Kya is pulled back into the chaos of her old life, she must navigate her superhero instincts, her growing relationship with Dart, and the ever-present temptation to suit up again. With humor, heart, and a touch of super-powered drama, "Power Couple" is a rom-com about finding love, facing your past, and discovering if you can truly have it all—superpowers, love, and a normal life.
