On a Steampunk Earth, during the early 20's, the wealthy Grandfather invites his entire family for a reunion on his private island. However, this family had been dysfunctional and has skeletons in their closets. Also, everyone has a minor power that gives them an edge over their peers, ranging from Hammerspace to metal-bending to Shapeshifting. Although none of these powers are combat-related, everyone finds their powers no stranger.
Were skeletons in the closet mentioned? Every single person has one, and every one of them has a reason to hide it.
