As they grapple with the potential societal upheaval their discovery could cause, an Outlaw spy steals their secret. The race is on to relay this knowledge to King George VII before it falls into dangerous hands. Yet, navigating the intricacies of their society, filled with shifting alliances and unexpected enemies, becomes an arduous task, pushing them to their limits.
