This is an enjoyable super hero origin story, even if it is especially vague. Lolo lives with her brother, James. She bumps into Michael one day and powers are awoken in both of them. Michael's come to life when he's being bullied, and Lolo's when her brother is being needlessly caught by the police. A local drug dealer learns about both Michael and Lolo and wants to recruit both of them. Of course there's a showdown at the end, which is open-ended enough for sequels.
