After about a year and a half of lying dormant, the illuminati is ready to strike again. Mrs. Smith, Mackenzie's illuminati mother, has devised, and successfully executed, a plan that involves merging forces with an outside ally to let the illuminati rise to power. Only Mackenzie knows of the true way to defeat the illuminati, but Mrs. Smith kidnaps her to keep her from ruining the plan. With the stakes higher than ever before and their close friends, family, and the world in severe danger, Sam, Elle, Mia, Sean, Shanna, Heath, Luke, Skylar, and Avery must band together once more, rescue Mackenzie, and save the world before it's too late.
