The eight discover that they form a cluster of "sensates": human beings who are mentally and emotionally linked, can sense and communicate with one another, and can share their knowledge, languages, and skills.

In the first season, the eight—Capheus, Sun, Nomi, Kala, Riley, Wolfgang, Lito, and Will—are shown trying to both live their everyday lives and figure out how and why they are connected.

In the second season, the eight have grown accustomed to their connection and help one another daily.
