Pete's past comes back to haunt him, and as he runs away he's hit by a truck. Legally dead for 20 minutes, he's resurrected by a handsome blond stranger who explains to him that he is no longer human. As he soon realizes, he's what you call a Talented; someone with strange, unique abilities due to a unique mutation in their genes. With a new ability of manipulating thoughts and reading minds, he's dubbed too unstable for the outside world, and is therefore placed in an institution for Talents with an inability to function with their powers; meeting a strange cast of Talenteds with strange new abilities. But who is Blurryface? And more importantly, what does he have against Pete and his new friends? Maybe being superhuman isn't as cool as he thought...
