The Island
In 2019, Lincoln Six-Echo is a resident of a seemingly "Utopian" but contained facility.

But Lincoln soon discovers that everything about his existence is a lie.
The Lightning Code
Teenage inventor Miles Fletcher unlocks the lost secret to limitless energy, catching the attention of Luxos Energy, a corporation posing as heroes. Just as he perfects his invention, they betray him—stealing his work and shutting him out. With nowhere to turn, Miles must decide—give up or trust his friends and fight back. In a high-stakes battle of ingenuity vs. industry, he races to stop Luxos before they turn his discovery into a weapon.
