Reed is a genius convenience store clerk with Ben.

Reed's parents don't care about him,

and Ben's dad is abusive. They're good friends and have each other's backs. Reed
writes a paper for community college on teleportation that attracts the attention of Dr.
Franklin Storm, CEO of the Baxter Building research center.
Storm has a son, Johnny, and an adoptive daughter, Sue, whose father, Storm's old
partner, died in an experiment gone wrong. Johnny and Sue are party kids, and Sue is
particularly disdainful of science. Reed and Sue don't get along at first.
Victor Doomashev is a anti-social Eastern European computer programmer and
hacktivist who calls himself "Doom". He hates the 1%, particularly Storm, whom he
claims corrupts science for profit.
Storm uses Reed's paper to complete some equations on a machine to access another
dimension, the N-Zone. Reed invites Ben to watch the machine being turned on. Sue
and Johnny are also there. Doom manages to hack into the Baxter Building's servers
and use a computer virus to damage the machine, which explodes. Reed, Sue, Johnny
and Ben are exposed to otherwordly energy and become mutants with powers that
they can't control.
Storm takes them to the Baxter Building and creates containment suits for their
powers. They begin to train. Reed and Storm also begin developing a way to revert the
accident. Sue blames Reed for everything, but they eventually become friends and then
a couple. Ben can switch off his powers when he's not in danger. Johnny changes
colors based on heat intensity, and Sue has some borderline telekinetic thing. Reed is
pretty much Reed.
Doom finds out that the four have acquired powers and becomes angry it's not him, so
he comes up with a plan to break into the Baxter Building to access the N-Zone
through the rebuild machine. As a distraction, he reprograms a bunch of stolen
military drones, the "Doombots", to attack the building. The four come together as a
team for the first time and save people.
Doom activates the machine and gets technopathy powers or something, basically
energy blasts and making machines obey to him, and a fight ensues. The machine goes
critical, and, in order to prevent it from exploding and destroying the city, the four
push into it and Storm shuts it off.
There's a countdown before it reaches critical mass. Inside the N-Zone, the four battle
Doom again, and manage to leave him trapped there after he disfigures himself
soaking up too much power. The Four manage to escape, but Ben gets the blunt of it to
protect Reed and can't switch back.

The machine is destroyed, Doom is gone, the four have learned to work as a team, and
Reed vows to find a cure for Ben. And it ends there.
