"...In 'Three Inches', professional daydreamer and underachiever, 'Walter Spackman' (Reid) is struck by lightning, and develops a unique 'super' power -- the ability to move any object using just his mind... but only a distance of three inches. He's soon recruited by a covert team of superheroes each gifted with their own extraordinarily ordinary abilities. Together, the unlikely band of heroes proves that 'super' is simply a state of mind..."Jace Alexander directs the pilot from a screenplay by Harley Peyton.
Marsters is 'Troy Hamilton', a former government agent who takes Walter into his own team of heroes who fight evil wherever they find it. He is a father figure to Walter; Martin is 'Belinda Spackman', Walter's mother, a 'brutally honest', comically cynical force of nature that loves her son more than words can say and will do anything to protect him; Jacobsen is 'Watts', a beautiful hero who has the ability to shape the emotions of anyone she meets at close range; Del Rio will portray 'The Human Smell', an adventurous, often irritating teenager who is able to emit a pungent gas through his pores that disables anyone nearby; Mori will play 'Annika', a woman who can duplicate and broadcast any sound she hears; Schmid is 'Brandon', the team leader with all the cockiness and strength of a true action hero, minus the superpowers. He is the opposite of Walter and sees most of the team as freaks; McLaren plays 'Macklin Sportello', Walter's best friend, a big talker with not a lot to back it up. His relationship is tested when Walter begins to change, but he's the friend that will always be there for him.
