Teens
In a world where technology has crashed and a ruthless dictator rules the Federated Republic of America with an iron fist, eighteen-year-old Marcos finds himself trapped within the impenetrable walls of Queenstown. Despite his attempts to escape, he is "disappeared" into a secret labor camp, with his controlling father's approval.
But Marcos never expected to find a vibrant and diverse rebel movement, the Underground, within the confines of the labor camp. Fueled by his anger and a desire for freedom, Marcos joins forces with his new found family to take action against the oppressive regime and free the labor camp. However, their rebellion could come with a high price.
The Supreme Commander will stop at nothing to maintain control over his citizens, even if it means crushing uprisings and those daring enough to lead them.
As Marcos and his friends risk everything for their freedom, they face the harsh reality that the Supreme Commander will not go down without a fight. Will their determination be enough to defeat the tyrant and free the labor camp or will they fall victim to his ruthless tactics?

Marcos Sees The World Clearly
In this scene Marcos Sanchez sees the world and his city Queenstown clearly for the first time ever. His older mentor, whom he calls "Abuela," had told him the nation hadn't always been divided by ethnicity and locked behind walls. She'd told him about the freedom the old USA had enjoyed, then squandered through racism and hatred. But Marcos hadn't believed her until he became the first citizen to escape the walls of Queenstown and see the devastated city beyond with his own eyes. This moment is about Marcos feeling the weight of his impulsive decision to leave the city, while also allowing Marcos to gain perspective of the world beyond Queentown's walls. That he retches shows the depth of Marcos's emotion at seeing the death and destruction the only national leader he's ever known was responsible for.
