A Code Within

At Ridgewood High School, the biology lab is more than just a classroom-it's a gateway to discovery, intrigue, and the unexplored mysteries of life itself. Mal Rivers and Evie Thompson, two brilliant yet vastly different minds, form an unlikely partnership that reshapes their understanding of science and each other. While Mal's calculated logic and razor-sharp focus dissect the complexities of biology, Evie's boundless creativity and unorthodox approach bring the subject to life in ways no textbook ever could.

Under the guidance of the enigmatic Ms. Taylor, the pair embark on a groundbreaking project that pushes the boundaries of their knowledge. Tasked with decoding a fictional organism's DNA and imagining its evolution, their journey begins as a simple academic challenge. But as they delve deeper, strange anomalies arise-patterns in the genetic sequences hinting at connections far beyond their classroom. Suddenly, their project feels less hypothetical and more real, as if the science they're unraveling holds the key to an unsettling truth.

As the duo races to piece together the genetic puzzle, they face unexpected obstacles: secrets hidden in Ridgewood High's history, tensions within their friendship, and a growing realization that their work might have consequences they're not prepared to face. In a whirlwind of scientific breakthroughs, moral dilemmas, and personal revelations, Mal and Evie discover that understanding life's code requires more than intellect-it demands courage
