Synopsis

In a hyperconnected 2048 Australia, the SkyRace Pilot Academy is the gateway to the skies and fame. The SkyRace Pilot Academy motto – Training legends of flight, reflects the dynamic and high-performance ethos of the SkyRace Pilot Academy preparing pilots and engineers for the thrilling SkyRace Grand Prix, emphasising knowledge and skill alongside team spirit.

 

Eight young pilots from around the world attend the Academy. They strive for fame, and for some, a way out of their real-world struggles. They study and train while competing in the SkyRace National Division 5 Championships. Joining the “flight to the SkyRace GP” journey at entry level provides pilots with racecraft insight by preparing them for the physical and mental demands of elite aerial motorsports.

 

When a mysterious glitch causes a racepod to crash mid-race, costing the pilot potential points and their chance to advance to Division 4, accusations fly. Someone has hacked the system.

 

As rivalries turn toxic, alliances blur, and romance sparks across teams, the eight competitors from various socioeconomic backgrounds must decide:

Will they chase personal glory or uncover the truth that could bring the entire SkyRace Pilot Academy crashing down?
