Sofia is not pleased with her parents decisions to move to a hole in the ground in the Middle of Nowhere, Kansas. Still, she's stuck until she can find a way to get out. She'd never thought her 'out' would come in the shape of a handkerchief drenched in chloroform.
Thomas is living the dream. Captain of the baseball team? Check. Gorgeous girlfriend? Check. Straight A's? Check. It's all going great until he runs into a girl who seems determined to wreak havoc on his carefully constructed life. The way things are going it shouldn't even surprise him when he wakes up at a top-secret facility staffed with people determined to get under his skin.
A case of mistaken identity, a few kidnappings and way too many explosions later they find themselves with an offer they can't refuse and no one to trust but their least favorite person in the world. It's enough to make anyone want to go back to Kansas.
Having a roof dropped on their heads is only the beginning of trouble for Thomas and Sofia. Before they know it they are whisked away to an undisclosed location for intense combat training. Reluctantly they learn how to fight for the agency they have no intention of serving.
Thomas is worried about his family, Sofia is worried about not getting breakfast. They’ve both decided to play nice, but things quickly escalate when other young recruits join their training.
As they fight to escape they face some pressing questions. What is real? Who’s the true enemy? And where is the best place to hide ice-cream on a covert operations base?
Falling out of an airplane is, to Thomas’s great surprise, not the end. Neither is a hectic snowboard ride down a mountain, but his first time driving on the left hand side of the road just might be.
When Sofia and he set out on a journey across Europe in an attempt to escape the Agency they are continuously surprised at the things they can survive.
Thomas is looking for a way off the road, Sofia is looking for a way off the boat. None of them expect to become friends, but maybe there’s something magical about the snow covered landscape they travel through. Or maybe it all comes down to excess adrenaline and indigestion.
Whatever the reason, as they hurry across the continent they are faced with deep philosophical questions such as: what is morality? Who are the mysterious people on motorbikes? And where do you find the best chocolate in Belgium?
Things are getting weirder the longer they travel and Sofia doesn’t think it’s simply due to the hallucinogenic effects of the seasickness pills she keeps taking.
Soon Thomas and she discover that they’re starring in a show, worse, they have fans and nothing they’ve lived through the past couple of months has been real. Or has it? Armed people on motorbikes keep turning up in strange places and so do people from their past.
Thomas is hoping to experience more castles, Sofia is hoping to experience less rain. Neither of them is paying much attention to where they are going because after weeks of cruising through Europe there’s nothing out there that they can’t handle. Right?
While they continue their journey over land and sea new profound questions arise: how do you keep a dead man buried? Who builds ships only to set fire to them? And why would anyone want to eat fermented herring?
Thomas discovers that homecoming is not all it’s been cranked up to be. Especially not when the problems you’ve acquired on your journey come home with you. Since his particular problems come in the shape of a greedy and decidedly morbid tv-production company and his equally morbid co-star and… friend he starts to think he should have stayed in Europe.
As Sofia and he reaches the home stretch they have to use all of their reluctantly acquired skills to stay alive and ahead of the people chasing them.
Thomas is trying to get free, Sofia is trying to get free food. Neither of them is expecting to be caught with their friends in the middle of a gunfight, or a hostage situation, or an ambush.
The season finale is approaching and the screen writers are on fire, which is lucky because sometimes fiction needs to step up its game to beat reality.
