In the not-too-distant future, high schooler Sam and his friends pool their knowledge to build a lie detector that they hope will bring an end to a corrupt leadership. Of course, the powers that be catch wind of this invention and will stop at nothing to get it for themselves. The teens find themselves in a fight for their lives and at the center of a burgeoning revolution in this action-packed (if somewhat overstuffed) dystopian thriller.
