What’s Hi-Five About?
Five strangers receive organ transplants from the same mysterious donor. Soon after, they each discover they’ve developed strange and unique superpowers.
Before they can adjust to their new lives, they’re hunted by a sixth recipient—Jinyoung’s character—who wants to absorb their powers and rise to ultimate control.
The result is a wild ride of supernatural chaos, cult mind games, and laugh-out-loud moments.
