This would appear to be a part of a much larger story. Chris Black must have much more about him that needs to be known. Apparently, the police fore of LA has some pretty amazing weapons to fight "crime." Black has his own powers and yet he doesn't really understand why they are in pursuit. We can draw our own conclusions, of course. This is a slick production but without a lot of foundation material, it is much like an old Ray Bradbury story that had the same plot.
