Synopsis

A very select group of people in life are truly gifted. SPECIAL is a movie about everyone else.

Les Franken (Michael Rapaport), a lonely parking enforcement officer who enjoys reading comic books, decides to take part in a clinical trial for a new and exciting antidepressant called ‘Special’. An unexpected side effect of the drug renders him with superpowers – or so he thinks.

While his doctor dismisses the drug’s side effects as an adverse psychological reaction to the medication, Les takes his cue from the comics he reads and embraces his newfound “powers” and quits his job to devote his life to fighting evil, real or imagined.
