Synopsis
Main article: List of Freaks episodes

Season One
In the year 1982, an event known as the Blackout gave a small portion of the world's population superhuman abilities. The first season is split up into four arcs which follow different characters.

The first arc follows Gabe Stewarts and Katelyn Anthony. Gabe is a trucker who has the ability to blow up something by snapping his fingers and Katelyn is a college student that has intelligence so high she surpasses everyone around her.

The second arc follows TBA who is a TBA-year-old girl that can regenerate from almost any injury, who lives with her abusive father, TBA.

The third arc follows a bus driver named Kevin Washington who finds out he has the ability to travel through time and is determined to find out who killed his wife.

The fourth and final arc follows detective TBA who has one big advantage over everyone around him. For a short period of time, he is able to see into the future, meaning he can tell who the killer is before anyone else.

There is also an arc that, while not touched on every episode, also plays a role in the first season which follows a convict that can teleport wherever he wishes.
