Pagkakapantay-pantay. Pagkakaisa. Progreso. Ang three pillars ng Union. Ngunit sa isang lipunan kung saan lalong lumalawak ang puwang sa pagitan ng mahihirap at mayayaman, at lalong lumalaki ang racial divide, walang kabuluhan ang three pillars. Totalitarian government, brainwashing, subliminal messages, propaganda, secret societies, poverty, technology. Sa mga mata ng mga taong nagmula sa iba't-ibang parte ng Union, iba-iba ang hinaharap nilang suliranin. Sa mga mata ng mga nasa labas ng Union, isa lang ang nais nila: ang Union ay isang kumakalat na sakit, at dapat itong wasakin.

Samahan si Ion at si Ana, dalawang kabataang mula sa magkasalungat na region sa Union: si Ion ay sa Zone 5 na tahanan ng mga mahihirap na lahi, si Ana ay sa Zone 2 na tahanan ng lahing isa sa mga nasa itaas ng social pyramid; at ang kanilang paghahanap ng kasagutan sa mga misteryong bumabalot sa Union, ang malaking bansang kinabibilangan ng limang uri ng lahi; at ang kanilang pagnanais na itama ang lahat ng mali sa bansang patuloy na binubulag ang mga mamamayan ng propaganda at kasinungalingan.

Ngunit sa likod ng mga ito'y nariyan ang ibang mga nilalang na hindi taga-Union, na nagnanais na wasakin ang bansang kanilang kinabibilangan.

When tuning in to the parallel world seems to be the only way to explain Liz's sudden disappearance, high school students Maxx, Zero and Axes try everything they could to bring her back. But the more they try to make things work, the more they realize that things aren't as simple as they seem. *** Maxx, Zero and Axes are three typical seventeen-year-old high school students who discovered a way to get into the parallel world. Wanting to find their friend Liz who suddenly disappeared two years ago, they attempt to tune in to the parallel world to try and get her back. Just when they thought they are getting everything under control, their situation becomes more complicated than they have ever imagined. Scientists trap and use them to open up the portal to the other world while secrets and lies continue to muddle their already problematic relationship. Unsure of whom and what to believe in anymore, will the three of them be able to achieve their goals and tune out in time? DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish. COVER DESIGN: Regina Dionela
