The New Directions are an elite academy of superheroes run by billionaire socialite William Schuester. It is unknown how or why these children are born with supernatural abilities, but from a young age they are trained to control them. However, when everything goes wrong and an incident leaves two New Directions presumably dead in a fire, things start to go downhill.

5 years later, Sam Evans joins the New Directions. Although it's all smooth sailing at first, the past is brought to light in an incredibly petty revenge plot. A mysterious stranger makes Sam question his loyalties, as he is forced to choose whether to betray his allies or go down with the New Directions' sinking ship.
