The movie opens with a flashback of Andy and Vicky McGee admiring their infant daughter, Charlie.

She is placed in the crib, and they leave the room. Andy soon gets the feeling that something is wrong.
When he returns to check on Charlie, he sees that the object above Charlie and other things in the room
are starting to burn. As Andy lifts her up, he sees that Charlie is also on fire.

Fast forward in the present, Andy suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night. He finds Charlie sitting
by herself in the kitchen, having just had a nightmare. Charlie is currently 11 years old. When he tries to
comfort her, she shares her concerns about "the bad thing," which is her pyrokinetic abilities. She
apparently has the ability to fire anything. Andy reassures Charlie that there is nothing to be worried
about. Soon Vicky also joins them, and they begin to prepare breakfast.

In another flashback, Vicky and Andy are shown as young college students who is taking part in clinical
studies. The two are given Lot-6, an experimental medicine, and their evaluations and tests are
documented. The same substance is shown being used by others, with more violent and lethal outcomes.
Vicky develops telekinetic abilities as a result of the Lot-6, whereas Andy receives telepathic power
known as the "push". 

In the present day, Andy makes a living by using his power. He assists people with their addictions as a
life coach. He can hypnotize his patients with just a snap of his neck and a focused gaze. Although his
sessions are expensive, people still pay him because they are aware of their benefit. However, using his
superpower constantly has negative effects on his health. A series of gradual brain hemorrhages cause
him to start bleeding from his eyes. On the other hand, Vicky has ceased using her power since she is
aware of its negative implications.

In the next scene, Gavin, one of Charlie's classmates, humiliates her. He mocks her for not having a cell
phone or Wi-Fi at home. Apparently, she is labeled as weird girl in the class. However, her teacher, Ms.
Gardner, treats her with kindness. When she gets home, she sobs in front of Vicky about why they aren't
allowed a cell phone or WiFi. However, Vicky reassures her by stating that it is bad for her health as well
as expensive and beyond their budget. Later on, Vicky tells Andy that Charlie needs to learn how to
utilize her skills rather than keep them under leash. Nevertheless, Andy dismisses her, claiming that she is
still too young to be exposed to such things.

The next day, Charlie is playing dodge ball with her classmates. In the meantime Gavin strikes her from
behind while laughing at her. She grows enraged but tries to keep it under control to avoid a terrible
situation. Therefore, She enters the restroom and opens the faucets. Then, she locks herself inside a
lavatory. In the meantime, Ms. Gardner follows her and notices that the bathroom is filled with steam
from the hot water and that the open taps have abruptly stopped completely pouring. Ms. Gardner
asks Charlie if she was okay in a shaky voice. However, Charlie tells her teacher to give her some space
and leave. Shortly after, door is knocked off by an explosion in the room.

In the following scene, due to Charlie's actions and property damage, Andy and Vicky are summoned to
the school. The school suspects she utilized an explosive to carry out the action. She is expelled from
school as a result of the event. When Andy gets home, he realizes that they need to flee because The
Department of Scientific Intelligence will find a way to get in touch with them and capture Charlie for
research. Later, Vicky advises Andy that Charlie needs to learn how to use her ability so she can control
it, but Andy holds his belief that repression is the only way to remain hidden. He cannot allow Charlie to
be taken by the scientists of DSI.

In the meantime, Charlie overhears their conversation and breaks down in tears. They reveal to Charlie
that they are being tracked because of their abilities, which is why they are unable to use Wi-Fi or cell
phones. When Charlie hears this, she begins to hate herself even more believing she is a demon. Enraged
with anger, she sets her mother's hand on fire. Luckily, Andy is able to help Vicky by putting out the
fire. . Vicky forgives her daughter as she is aware that Charlie  has no control over the situation. She
requests that Andy either take Charlie to the movies or get her ice cream.

Meanwhile, all of this is monitored in a secret facility by Captain Jane Hollister who is leader of the DSI.
She wants to seize Charlie so that she can be trained and put under their control, and then use her power
for their own purposes. As a result, she makes contact with Rainbird, an assassin who formerly helped the
DSI in removing a similar obstacle. He is presently employed as a janitor. Rainbird finally agrees to the
task after much persuasion, but this time he is asked to bring the girl alive.

In the next scene, Vicky is by herself at home because her daughter and husband are out. She senses that
something is off and turns back to see Rainbird sitting on her sofa. Vicky refuses to provide any
information when he questions her about Charlie's whereabouts. Using his telepathic skills, Rainbird
discovers that they went for an ice cream and movies. Meanwhile, Vicky leaves and locks herself in the
room. She starts throwing things at Rainbird while using her telekinetic ability. She makes every effort to
keep him away. However, because she lacks practice, she frequently misses the mark. Finally, he grabs
her and chokes the life out of her.

was the intended target of the fire that burned her mother's hand. As soon as they step inside, Rainbird

concerned and keep asking Rainbird about Vicky, but Rainbird doesn't answer them. Charlie eventually
loses control and releases her mother, who is locked in a cupboard, using her telepathic skills. After
