The end of the Cold War prompts a peace treaty to be enacted and signed by some of the top officials in the world to train individuals to diffuse any possible events that could lead to another war escalation. Thus, this treaty forms the creation of an organization on the down low where very young individuals are sacrificed randomly from each country and involuntarily are giving their lives to be trained as machines or assassins, to prevent particular events from escalating into another world war. These few individuals were decided upon to sacrifice for the greater good and are only taken once, after the Cold War. While they are taken by the organization to raise, their families are killed so as to remain invisible to the public. Although the foundation seems fair and a matter of utilitarianism, are the human rights of these individuals being violated worth the risk to maintain peace? Has the organization become corrupted? Is this what countries envisioned when they signed? As countries learn about what it has become, how will they feel? A certain percentage of young children are chosen from each country to be groomed into the program, and our show focuses on the most effective, most professional, mostest bestest- Carter, Cameron, Regina, Zoe, and Adrienne.All of them are haunted by their pasts like how they were chosen and even still, years into the organization. Season 1 will focus on exploring their respective traumas, and on the introduction of "new girl" Adrienne. Relationships will be established and secrets regarding how members were selected and the kinds of escalations they are meant to control, will be depicted.

Goddius I am content to see the rotation of light.... turn into darkness then back into light. Which is the same as it goes into night from light right back into night. I am delighted and pleased to see the sky and seas, the land which is firm with grass that is green and plenty of trees. I'll make sure they have lots of fruits and veggies.... that will come with its own seeds to full each of their bellies... And I'll grow it all over.... To cover their needs daily. And I must not forget to thank Mother Nature...she helped me line up the sun, stars and the moon she did it so fast, the time goes by so soon. Then I filled up the oceans with small and big fish... crabs, oysters, shrimp. Whenever they like, they can have as much as they wish. I put birds in the sky that knew how to fly, so that they'll know without my call they could only soar so high. I put some animals to be admired and some to be hugged, livestock to be eaten and some to be rubbed. Yet I saved the best for last and you will walk in my image, but respect the atmosphere because you're the ones living in it.... Now the only thing left to do, is to wish it all true, if you want to come to heaven then do as we do.... Let it be done on earth as it is done in heaven... Let it be done on earth as it is done in heaven...Let it be done on earth as it is done in heaven. Let it be done on earth as it is done in heaven! I see nothing but goodness from this. Only if he knew of all the chaos going on in heaven before he wished it upon us.

Aaliyah "Aaliyah" Thompson is a senior at Riverside High School (a large public high school in the suburbs of Houston, Texas). She's the captain of the debate team, maintains a near-perfect GPA, and stays laser-focused on college applications and scholarships. Growing up in a tight-knit Black family, she's used to high expectations - from her mama's "you gotta be twice as good" talks to the pressure of representing her community. She keeps her circle small and her feelings even smaller; romance is a distraction she can't afford. Everything shifts when the seating chart changes at the start of the second semester. Now sitting directly behind her is Malik "Mali" Carter, a tall, quiet transfer student from Atlanta who moved to Texas after a family loss. He's effortlessly fine - deep brown skin, locs often tied back, always wearing hoodies and earbuds - and the girls at school quickly nickname him "The Quiet Storm." But he barely speaks to anyone, keeping to himself during lunch and avoiding the Friday night football hype. At first, Aaliyah finds him irritating: his long legs keep bumping her chair, his cologne (something warm like sandalwood and shea) drifts forward during class, and he seems completely unbothered by the social scene. Then, one rainy Texas afternoon after a long day of classes and debate practice, Aaliyah forgets her umbrella (again). When she returns to her desk, there's a neatly folded note waiting for her.
