A group of friends are playing a game called "Can You Become a Superhero?" where they are given superpowers but with a twist. Each power has a unique limitation or side effect. The players are Dingo, who can teleport but only when no one is looking; Steven, who can see into the future but only three seconds ahead; Mosa, who can make someone incredibly strong but also incredibly stupid; J, who can read minds but in a different language; and another player who can make anything fall within a 25-meter radius but can't choose what falls.
Their first mission is to stop a bank robbery, but things quickly go awry. Dingo teleports behind the robbers but can't teleport them away, and J's power causes a random bird to fall from the sky. Steven's power allows him to see the robbers' next move, but he can't act on it. Mosa makes J incredibly strong, but also incredibly stupid.
The mission ends in disaster, with the robbers and hostages getting hurt, and the players are forced to retreat. Their boss, Dan Fury, suggests a new mission: helping the elderly. However, the players are skeptical and expect something to go wrong.
