 It was just supposed to be a harmless afternoon of skipping school.  Techno-geek Marcus bypasses the school security to escape with his friends to spend the afternoon playing games.  But they certainly couldn't have known that a terrorist attack on San Francisco would change their lives forever.  Picked up by the Department of Homeland Security, Marcus is held in an undisclosed location for 6 days and faces intense interrogation.  When he is finally released, he is warned not to tell anyone where he has been.  San Franciso is now little more than a police state and the DHS is controlling everything.  Just how much of their privacy will the population give up to feel secure?  Is there anyway that a group of teens can bring down the government?  Should they even try?
