Damek.

There’s this male nurse taking care of a dying rich man. He’s in love with the guy’s daughter, but he feels it’s inappropriate to act on it due to the working relationship.

He’s also been having dreams leading him to believe he can fly. But as he eventually finds out it, it’s not he who can fly, but his brother, who is running for congress and doesn’t want anyone to know since it would ruin his campaign. The male nurse can fly, but only when he’s been near his brother. See, he takes on the powers of those he’s been near.

We know this because there’s this painter who can paint the future. But only when he’s high on heroine. He happens to be the boyfriend of the woman the male nurse is in love with.

On the other side of the planet, there’s a Japanese office work who imagines he can bend time and space. Turns out he can, and he teleports himself to New York five weeks in the future, where he learns it’s going to be hit by a nuclear explosion. He also sees the painter, who has been writing a comic book of the Japanese man’s life (remember he can see the future), lying dead with his skullcap sawed off. He teleports back to get his officemate and fly to America to save the world (from a nuclear bomb in New York).

There’s also a woman in Las Vegas who runs a sexy webcam because she’s low on cash. See, her husband stole a lot of money and is on the run from the cops so she’s taking care of her kid on her own. Only her husband didn’t actually steal the money, it was her — well, her other self. Who framed him. So, she’s, like, schizophrenic, and as her other self she’s super strong, and lethal. But it’s tearing her family apart. When her husband comes back and learns what she did, he takes the kid. After a battle between the two of them in which it turns out he can move through solid matter (walls and flesh and such).

Also, you should know there’s a shadowy person going around killing people who have special powers. He seems to have all the special powers, or at least more than one. He’s the one sawing people’s skulls off. And it seems the painter has identified that he’s going to kill a cheerleader in the future. And the Japanese man, from the future, has warned the male nurse to find the cheerleader and save her. “Find the cheerleader, save the world.”

Guess what? The cheerleader can regenerate her flesh. She can’t die. She even had a tree branch through her head and when it was removed she came back to life. Oh, and she’s adopted, and her father knows she’s special and has been going around doing something to people with powers. Is he good? Is he bad?

There’s a guy he kidnapped who can read minds. With the help of a tall, silent black man who can apparently erase memories, he erased the mind-reader guy’s memory of the kidnapping and set him free. The mind-reader guy is helping an FBI agent track the skull-cutter guy.

The cheerleader’s father has also attempted to kidnap the flying Congressional candidate. But he flew away. This was when the candidate was in Las Vegas meeting with a mobster to get money. The mobster was owed money by the schizophrenic mother, who the mobster made sleep with the candidate as a bribe. The mobster also happens to have purchased a key painting from the precognitive painter, and the flying Congressman’s brother (the male nurse) wants to get it to discover the location of the cheerleader so he can go save her and save the world.

Whew!

I think that’s about it. Three more episodes before I’m all caught up with Heroes, and then Monday night Mr. Eccleston joins the show.
