For those unfamiliar with the story of Cloak & Dagger, Tandy Bowen, played by Holt and Tyrone Johnson, played by Joseph, play an interracial couple that finds love despite having two very different backgrounds. As the couple grows closer, the duo finds themselves revealing parts of themselves they had kept secret for their entire lives. Bowen reveals that she can emit light daggers, while Johnson reveals he can swallow others into darkness. As time passes on, the two realizes that they work well together, but as we all know, mixing business and pleasure is often not a recipe for success.
