Synopsis
In a world where the Peace Authority maintains control by "bobbling" threats inside impenetrable force fields, a secret network of underground technologists called the Tinkers works to overthrow the authoritarian regime. When a young mathematical prodigy is discovered by an aging inventor, their alliance sparks a rebellion that could shatter the Authority's monopoly on power.
