There was a secret going around the world that only adults knew. This secret would change every kid's point of view of the world completely. The rule of that secret was that adults weren't allowed to tell the kids the secret until they were 18 or older. Every child believed that lie, but the adults knew the truth. 

The journey to discover the truth about this secret started when a group of 11yo students in Tirana International School found out that their teacher, Ms. Sloughter, had been arrested by the mysterious tech billionaire Leon V. Tringle for “not being human”. Just like that, the kids found themselves saving their teacher and mankind.
