The Codebreakers
Bernice, Pete, Barney and Lisa have grown up in the ORB. Raised by a computer AI program named Ruby, they are taught that there is no other place but the ORB. When Pete stumbles upon a place that shouldn't exist and punishments continue to grow harsher, the four friends must decide if the cost of knowing the truth is worth the sacrifice.
