Synopsis/Details
THE SETUP: David Desper Jr. is a charismatic megachurch pastor hiding a biological "curse." Every midnight, he and his family—wife Brittney, daughter Kris, and son Zack—must lock themselves inside a high-tech, reinforced steel chamber to undergo a bone-snapping transformation into antlered, apex monstrosities. David believes this "ritual" is a divine burden provided by a mysterious benefactor to contain a demonic sickness.
THE INCITING INCIDENT: When two professional thieves infiltrate the home during the "midnight hour," they meet a brutal end, but the massacre shatters the family's secrecy and draws the attention of their boss, "The Professional," as well as that of a shadow organization dedicated to hunting and extinguishing dormant Gods.
THE SERIES ARC: As this shadow organization hunts the family, the truth emerges: they aren't monsters, but suppressed Gods. The technology isn't saving them; it’s a "digital leash" designed by ancient jailers to keep their divinity dormant. Led by tech-savvy daughter Kris—the first to tap into her true power—the Despers must choose between their human lives and reclaiming their thrones in a war against the architects of human history.
