In this video-game-esque sci-fi adventure, aliens conquered Earth decades ago; children live in ignorant bliss until their minds mature (then they're brainwashed). Recruited by rebels, pre-teen Ethan Blackwood must use his innate athletic skills to save the world. Characterization and plotting are secondary to the series opener's numerous high-tech battles.
