Project Power

In a neon‑slick, rain‑slicked New Orleans a new kind of street legend begins to spread: a small, unmarked pill that grants the user a fleeting burst of extraordinary ability before the effect fades. The drug’s unpredictable nature turns everyday moments into sudden spectacles of strength, invincibility, or terrifying side effects, and the city’s fragile equilibrium quickly teeters toward chaos. The juxtaposition of historic cobblestones and high‑tech whispers creates a backdrop that feels both familiar and disorientingly altered, a playground where the line between miracle and menace blurs with every dose.

The film pulses with a gritty, kinetic energy, blending gritty police procedural tones with a fast‑paced, almost comic‑book sensibility. Bright street festivals and dim back‑alley labs share the screen, while an urgent, synth‑driven score underscores the constant undercurrent of unease. The atmosphere is one of restless curiosity; every corner of the city hints at hidden experiments and unsolved mysteries, inviting viewers to wonder how far ordinary people will go when offered a taste of the impossible.

Frank Shaver patrols the streets as a dedicated NOPD officer, his sense of duty constantly tested by the strange new threat. Robin is a street‑wise hustler who navigates the drug trade with sharp instincts and a fierce protective streak for those she cares about. Art is a former soldier whose disciplined past clashes with the volatile present, bearing the weight of secret scars that make him uniquely suited to confront the unknown. Their lives intersect in the city’s shadowed veins, each bringing a distinct perspective—law, survival, and combat experience—to a situation that demands more than any one of them can handle alone.

Drawn together by circumstance, the trio must decide whether to simply survive the wave of uncontrolled power or to trace its source and halt the upheaval it causes. Their uneasy alliance hints at a deeper confrontation with the covert forces behind the pill, promising a dangerous quest where personal sacrifice and moral conviction become as essential as the fleeting superhuman feats that have reshaped the city’s destiny.
