Summary
In 2006, Tori and Kyle Breyer are a young couple living on a farm in Brightburn, Kansas. One night, a spaceship falls from the sky near their farm with a baby boy inside. The couple adopt him as their own, naming him Brandon. Twelve years later, Brandon discovers that he has superhuman strength and then a significant degree of invulnerability after hearing strange voices in his head.
