What is Project Power about?
The official Netflix summary reads: "On the streets of New Orleans, word begins to spread about a mysterious new pill that unlocks superpowers unique to each user. The catch: You don't know what will happen until you take it.
"While some develop bulletproof skin, invisibility, and super strength, others exhibit a deadlier reaction. But when the pill escalates crime within the city to dangerous levels, a local cop (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) teams with a teenage dealer (Dominique Fishback) and a former soldier fueled by a secret vendetta (Jamie Foxx) to fight power with power and risk-taking the pill in order to track down and stop the group responsible for creating it."
According to the trailer, these superpowers can be useful, such as Frank becoming bulletproof, but can also be very dangerous, like one man who turns into the Human Torch, covered in flames that will ultimately lead to him exploding into a ball of fire.
Project Power is released on Netflix on August 14.
