Jack Quaid, an ordinary individual, takes center stage in the trailer for Novocaine. Nathan Caine, played by Quaid, leads a straightforward life as a bank executive. One fateful day, his world is turned upside down when he falls in love with a co-worker, Amber Midthunder from Prey. That night became the best of his life. However, the next day, criminals raid his bank and abduct the girl he loves. Nathan, who typically avoids conflict, musters the courage to save the one he holds dear.

How Nathan's Unique Condition Becomes a Superpower

Nathan has a rare genetic condition that shields him from feeling pain. At first, this was thought to be his greatest weakness. But surprisingly, it turns out to be his greatest asset. In the midst of fight scenes, his multiple screams reveal his struggle to adapt to life as a hero. How can an inexperienced vigilante hope to defeat a group of kidnappers? Nathan's inability to feel pain gives him a distinct advantage. It allows him to push through pain and continue the fight when others might give up.

Novocaine's ensemble is a star-studded group. Ray Nicholson, Jacob Batalon, Betty Gabriel, and Matt Walsh all bring their talents to the table. Each actor adds depth and complexity to the story, making it a truly immersive experience.
