What if you could subscribe to a superpower? What if you could cure any genetic disease?
In the year 2042, Goldstone City has advanced genetic engineering to the point where companies sell monthly superpower subscriptions and can cure most modern diseases. From super strength to eradicating diabetes, the future looks promising, but only to those who can afford it.
Prosperidad, an adjacent border town, still suffers from poverty, disease, and warring gangs. Potentia follows Diego Alejo, a brilliant high schooler, determined to save his Abuelo from Alzheimer's disease, at any cost. Lacking the proper equipment, however, he must fight for a research position in Goldstone City's high-tech labs. When his project catches the attention of gangs hoping to create their own superpowers, his family and friends get tangled up in the criminal underworld.
With corruption running rampant throughout Prosperidad, Diego must watch his every step. But how far will he go to protect those he loves from the superpowered turf wars?
