Ten years ago, an eight-year-old Chicago native boy named David Charleston was orphaned when the High Epic Steelheart murdered his father while fighting a rival Epic, Deathpoint, in a bank. Existing government proved absolutely incapable of controlling the Epics, the most powerful of which replaced government authority and enslaved the rest of humanity. Dubbed Epics, these super-humans took to crime. They all have different types of powers and weaknesses, with no apparent rhyme or reason. Twelve years ago, an object dubbed Calamity appeared near Earth and burst in the sky, emitting a strange radiation which gave a small group of humans super powers and near invincibility in apparent defiance of the known laws of physics. One young man orphaned by a High Epic joins a group that is killing Epics. These Epics prey upon or enslave the rest of humanity, causing the collapse of traditional governments.
