After a series of mutations manifested in people carrying a recessive gene, the world entered a period of intense social tension due to fear of what these "mutants" might do with their powers. Amidst this scenario, aspiring singer Alie Blaire (Daryl Hannah) finds success performing in nightclubs thanks to the luminous effects of her shows, which are actually a result of her mutation. However, Alie (who uses the stage name Dazzler) hasn't publicly acknowledged her mutation because of the negative image associated with mutants. Now, in addition to societal prejudice, Alie must confront a secret society of mutants planning an attack against humanity.
