Synopsis
Fifteen kids pilot a giant robot to defend Earth, discovering their "game" has deadly, irreversible consequences.
Fifteen middle school students are enjoying a summer camp by the sea when they stumble upon a hidden cave that promises an extraordinary adventure. Inside, they meet Kokopelli, who invites them to test a revolutionary game: piloting a towering robot to protect Earth from mysterious invaders. Intrigued, the children accept and find themselves linked to Zearth, a colossal machine that responds to their thoughts. Their first encounter with an enemy mecha ignites a mix of awe and responsibility, but the thrill of battle soon gives way to unsettling questions. As the kids take turns at the controls, they begin to sense that Kokopelli’s “game” carries rules far darker—and more personal—than any of them imagined. Now bound by a contract they barely understand, the group must confront not only external threats but the growing realization that their summer adventure has become something far more serious.
