Fantasy Mutants - Synopsis Proposal

I am not sure if this is going to be the official one yet but I wanted to put one up early and see what response I get. In my ideas, I thought the typical storyline of the theme of a devasting event that changes them and an ultimate weapon as the maguffin so here is my first attempt, comments welcomed.

 Synopsis Attempt 1

A set of normal people were caught in the middle of a blast from a weapon test at a desert facility, their lives changed further. One side wants to protect humanity and hopefully find a cure for their condition, the other side wants to use the weapon to change all of mankind forever.
