En un futuro no muy lejano, en medio de las ruinas carbonizadas de la tierra, un grupo de adolescentes descubren un antiguo archivo prohibido de reliquias históricas, culturales y musicales. Este descubrimiento los obliga a cuestionar todo lo que les han enseñado, y usar el poder de la música para encender el cambio en su realidad y exponer la verdad.

Aliyah discovers a connection between The Archive and her late mother while an impromptu performance tests the patience of those in power.

While Phydra interrogates Bohdi about his hip-hop inspired performance, Aliyah leads her fellow Exemplar Candidates in a civil rights movement inspired protest against Bohdi's unjust imprisonment.

Aliyah and her friends look towards hip-hop for inspiration for the upcoming Exemplar group round, while in The Archive, Tempo uncovers humanity's forgotten dark history.

Aliyah and the Exemplar candidates all struggle with a new reality as they come to terms with how their actions have resulted in a Tribunal backlash.

Authority Phydra seeks to root out those connected to The Archive while Aliyah glimpses strange visitors to New Babyl.

As the Exemplar semifinals approach, Aliyah learns an earth-shattering secret about New Babyl.

Bohdi and Aliyah join a covert rebel group in New Babyl while Phydra hunts down a mole in the Tribunal.

Aliyah devises a plan to reveal the truth of New Babyl during the Exemplar finals, but Authority Phydra is closing in on her, determined to stop Aliyah at all costs.
