Digital Trails

A hazardous smog has spread throughout the digital world, even the most powerful bend to its potent infection, very few can resist its hold.

The one responsible is lurking within the shadows of the chaos. They are using it to their advantage to move forward with their agenda. The world retaliates by calling upon new destined ones. Six individuals ranged in age and personality.

There's an orphan boy, who doesn't understand that family can be something you can find later on in life when you least expect it. A girl a few years older is learning that death is a hurdle even for the oldest of people and it's even tougher to bear yourself, and shutting everyone out will only cause you more harm in the long run. A separate individual lashes out at those who get too close as that's the type of environment they are accustomed to. Another struggles to see eye-to-eye with others even though her dream relies on her cooperation and communication. One who is older suffers from the same issue but it's from a place of stubbornness, even though their actions speak the complete opposite of their words. Lastly, there's a medical student who thinks they know what they want to do with their life but are too close-minded to look at other options that would be a better fit for their skills.

Together, through a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, they learn the lessons they need the most and ones they didn't know they needed. Together they create lifelong connections with these creatures called digimon, and they learn to love them.
