What happened in the first Code 8:

The first “Code 8” tells the story of Connor (Robbie Amell), an electrokinetic PWP living in a world where powered individuals are shunned. In the wake of an industrial revolution that left PWPs by the wayside, powered crime is on the rise, and the city is debating a ban on PWPs altogether.

Desperate to care for his ailing mother, Connor gets caught up in the increasingly deadly world of Lincoln City crime. He falls in with Garrett (Stephen Amell), a telekinetic enforcer working for the Trust, a crime syndicate dealing a new and incredibly addictive drug called Psyke made from the spinal fluid of PWPs.

The story follows Connor Reed (Robbie Amell), a Special with the power of electrokinesis, who struggles to pay for his mother’s medical treatment. Desperate for money, Connor joins a criminal group led by Garrett (Stephen Amell), also a Special.

Together, they use their powers to commit crimes and evade the militarized police force tasked with hunting down Specials.

As Connor becomes more involved in the criminal underworld, he faces moral dilemmas and risks exposing his powers. Meanwhile, a militarized police unit led by Agent Park (Sung Kang) and Agent Davis (Aaron Abrams), is hot on their trail.

The film explores themes of discrimination, poverty, and the misuse of power in a society where those with abilities are marginalized and oppressed. It also highlights the bond between the two main characters, Connor and Garrett, as they navigate the challenges of their world.

Code 8 was initially released as a short film in 2016 before being expanded into a full-length feature following a successful crowdfunding campaign.
