Synopsis

Teenager Alex has acquired the unpredictable super power of static electricity. Between high school and her absent mother, Alex can’t seem to keep her emotions in check or her powers from growing. Alex’s frustration and loneliness build as the kids at school taunt and tease her. Now completely alone in her struggle and fleeing from a pack of bullies, Alex meets Tomek, a retired Polish trapeze artist and now homeless man. He shows her a glimmer of humanity and a newfound friendship. But when Tomek suddenly falls ill, Alex is faced with the possible death of her new friend and her perspective shifts. Alex is finally able to see the true purpose of her powers.
