Daha gerçekçi bir dünyaya uyum sağlamış 7 süper kahraman. Onlar gibi üstün güçlere sahip ancak yozlaşmış super kahramanların peşine düşecekler. CIA önderliğinde toplanan ekibin tek görevi şöhret ve güç için yozlaşan kahramanları kontrol altına almak veya onları ortadan kaldırmaktır. Niyetleri ne kadar iyi olsa da bizim tanıdığımız süper kahramanlardan daha farklı karakterlere ve kötülerle savaşma anlayışları vardır. Kötü diye tabir ettikleri kahramalardan daha mı kötüler?
The Boys is set in a universe where superpowered people are recognized as heroes by the general public and owned by powerful corporation Vought International, which ensures that they are aggressively marketed and monetized. Outside of their heroic personas, most are arrogant and corrupt. The series primarily focuses on two groups: the titular Boys, vigilantes looking to keep the corrupted heroes under control, and the Seven, Vought International's premier superhero team. The Boys are led by Billy Butcher, who despises all superpowered people, and the Seven are led by the egotistical and unstable Homelander. As a conflict ensues between the two groups, the series also follows the new members of each team: Hugh "Hughie" Campbell of the Boys, who joins the vigilantes after his girlfriend is killed in a high speed collision by the Seven's A-Train, and Annie January / Starlight of the Seven, a young and hopeful heroine forced to face the truth about the heroes she admires.
