Until this point, Max and the flock have only been concerned with the school that they came from, what with erasers and flyboys chasing after them they've never had the time to worry about anything else. But the Itex plan doesn't end there, and after crash landing in a cave off the coast of Seattle and meeting two odd fugitives; they find out that each world power seems to have their own 'school' and intends to pit each 'student' against each other in a mock Battle Royale. Inadvertently drawn into the bigger scheme of things after Max and Iggy are captured and sent in to compete, the Flock unwittingly finds themselves trapped within a deadly game- and in this crash course class of survival, there can only be one valedictorian.
