The synopsis: We all have a superhero inside us. It just takes some magic to get it out. In the case of Billy Batson (Angel), this can be done by shouting one word: Shazam! The 14-year-old foster child can therefore turn into the adult Superhero Shazam (Levi) with the help of an old wizard. He’s still a child on the inside, but on the outside Shazam has a muscular, godlike body. Shazam comes to life in this adult version of himself by doing what any teenager would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have x-ray eyes? Can he make lightning shoot out of his hands? Can he skip his tests at school? Shazam searches for the limits of his powers with the recklessness of a child. But he will have to master these powers quickly to combat the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).
