About Powder
A mysterious albino teenager, Jeremy "Powder" Reed (Sean Patrick Flanery), is rescued from the basement in which he's lived since birth. But the extremely intelligent Reed is not welcomed into the community. Students at his school fear the outsider because of his bizarre ability to harness extrasensory perception and heal the sick. His relationship with a fellow student, Lindsey (Missy Crider), doesn't help matters either, despite the help of two teachers (Jeff Goldblum, Mary Steenburgen).

Empire star Jussie Smollett 'staged hoax attack over salary'
US actor Jussie Smollett staged a fake attack on himself because he was "dissatisfied with his salary", Chicago Police say.
Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said in a news conference that he "took advantage of The Pain and anger of racism to promote his career".
Mr Smollett, 36, is charged with filing a false Police report after he said he was The Victim of a homophobic attack.
Police say he also had sent a racist letter to himself at a Fox studio.
On Thursday, Mr Smollett appeared in court and was ordered to submit a bond of $10,000 and surrender his passport.
Judge John Fitzgerald Lyke called the charges "utterly outrageous" and "despicable" if true.
The Star of the TV series Empire is suspected of paying Two Brothers to stage The Attack . They are both co-operating with The Investigation , Police say.
On Wednesday his lawyers said they would "mount an aggressive defence".
What do Police say?In a scathing news conference on Thursday, Supt Johnson accused the actor of committing A Crime "to further his own profile".
He said Mr Smollett had betrayed The City of Chicago , and said "this publicity stunt was a scar that Chicago didn't earn and certainly didn't deserve".
The "hoax", he said, "received national attention for weeks", and may deter future Hate Crime victims from coming forward for fear that their allegations may be met with scepticism.
He called upon the actor "to apologise to this city that he smeared".
Mr Smollett turned himself in to Police on Thursday"Celebrities, news commentators, and even presidential candidates weighed in on something that was choreographed by an actor," he said, with palpable anger as he spoke.
"I'm left hanging my head and asking why," he said, describing Mr Smollett's actions as a "slap in The Face " to Chicagoans.
How did the case unfold?Suspicion over the actor's allegations started to grow after Police said they could not find any video footage of the alleged incident from over 50 surveillance cameras they reviewed. There were also no witnesses.
But investigators managed to track and identify two Men who appeared on video footage near where the actor said he had been attacked through a ride-sharing app.
The Men - Ola and Abel Osundairo - had left the US following the alleged attack and were held for nearly 48 Hours after they returned last week.
They were released without charges after providing information that "shifted the trajectory of The Investigation ", Police said.
One of The Brothers is Mr Smollett's personal trainer and both have worked as extras on Empire, a hit Fox show that depicts the lives of a music mogul and His Family in Chicago .
CCTV image released earlier by Chicago PolicePolice say they have a cheque that Mr Smollett signed and that he had agreed to pay $3,500 (£2,700) for The Brothers ' participation.
Supt Johnson said that he had told at least one of The Brothers that he was "dissatisfied" with his salary from Fox.
He added that Mr Smollett first "attempted to gain attention by sending a false letter that relied on racial, homophobic and political language" to Fox studios.
Police had confirmed in early February that a letter containing a white Powder - later identified as aspirin - was included in the threatening letter that authorities now believe was now sent by the actor himself.
During a news conference on Thursday, Police said Mr Smollett had also claimed that Three Days before The Attack he received an unidentified phone call from A Man who uttered a homophobic slur then hung up.
He told Police The Incident happened near a surveillance camera. It was the same camera that Police say he would later point out to the Osundairo brothers in preparation for the alleged hoax attack.
On Wednesday, CBS Chicago obtained footage which appeared to show Two People buying materials, including ski masks, that had allegedly been worn by the actor's attackers.
Mr Smollett turned himself in early on Thursday and is in custody of Chicago Police .
Rallies were held after Mr Smollett first announced the alleged "attack" What does Smollett say happened?The actor, who is gay, said he had gone out to buy food late at night in downtown Chicago when two white Men hurled racial and homophobic insults at him.
They allegedly punched the actor, poured a chemical substance over him and put a rope around his neck.
Police said on Thursday that some minor scrapes on his face were probably self-inflicted.
"I'm left hanging my head and asking why. Why would anyone, especially an African-American man, use the symbolism of a noose to make false accusations?" said Supt Johnson.
"How could someone look at The Hatred and suffering associated with that symbol and see an opportunity to manipulate that symbol to further his own public profile?"
Mr Smollett also claimed The Men had told him "this is Maga country", apparently referring to President Donald Trump 's "Make America Great Again" slogan.
The President tweeted his condemnation after The Police news conference, slamming Mr Smollett's "racist and dangerous comments".
In an interview last week with ABC's morning TV show, the actor tearfully said he had been "forever changed" by the alleged incident.
