Hundreds of years in the
future, in the last living colony on earth, a city called New Babyl,
twenty-four teenage candidates are chosen to take part in an annual musical
competition known as The Exemplar. For all of them it's a chance to write their
names in the history books, but for Aliyah, the independent and adventurous
daughter to a city government official, it's the beginning of an incredible
adventure. Through the discovery of a mysterious archive, she is exposed to
hip-hop, an ancient form of music culture, which will lead her to question
everything she has ever known and change her world forever.
The journey to unravel that mystery
will play out over the course of the first season while our candidates prepare
and participate in The Exemplar competition. Channeling the rebellious spirit
of Hip-hop, Aliyah and her friends face off against the government for the
freedom of the people in a finale that will rock the very foundation of their
society, changing all of their lives forever.
