Rising 6 will center around six characters from poverty-stricken areas worldwide, who government officials recruit as experiments. Things will take an unexpected turn when the characters realize their newfound superhero powers – a result of an experiment gone wrong. The group will then unite to fight an unruly government in a new-age global battle.
