Synopsis
Twenty-three years ago, twelve children were born on the exact same day - each of them gifted with fantastic psychokinetic abilities. Six years later, the world ended. Now, as adults, these so-called "FreakAngels", eke out a life for themselves in the flooded ruins of what was once the Whitechapel district of London, England.

A young woman named Alice learns that her brothers were murdered by one of the FreakAngels - Mark, and now wanders through the streets looking to avenge her family's death, but targeting the other members of the FreakAngels.

One of the FreakAngels, KK awakens and finds several of her cohorts, Connor, Karl, and Sirkka. Alice assaults Connor, and Sirkka has to use her mental powers to incapacitate her. Connor, being the more calm member of the group tries to get to the truth behind Alice's rage.
