Code 8

In Lincoln City, a unique group of residents possesses extraordinary abilities, yet they live in the shadows of society, struggling under the weight of poverty and oppression. The city is tightly controlled by a heavily militarized police force that keeps a watchful eye on these gifted individuals. Among them is Connor, a construction worker who grapples with his own powers while trying to support his sick mother. Driven by desperation, Connor finds himself drawn into the world of a criminal gang, hoping to secure the funds needed for her treatment. As he navigates this dangerous path, he must confront the moral dilemmas of his choices and the harsh realities of life in a city that fears and persecutes those who are different. This gripping tale, inspired by the short film “Code 8” (2016), explores themes of survival, family, and the struggle for acceptance in a divided world.
