In this futuristic world, there are many different types of people. There are "Surge Monkeys", "Tech Heads", and "kickers". In this place, everything everyone does is caught on camera. The more and exciting things you have posted, the higher your face rank. The world is like a gaint popularity contest. Whoever gets the highest votes wins.
Then there is Aya, a 15 year old girl who has a saddening face rank of 451,369. In her world, she can be classified as an extra, or a nobody. She is dieing to improve her rank though, constantly kicking feeds with her spy cam Moggle. If there is anything she wants most, it's to fit in and get noticed.
Then one day she meets a clique of girls called the Sly Girls. They do risky and daring tricks nightly, without telling or posting about it to anyone. Looking to fit in, Aya joins them, and is soon considered one of them. What the sly girls are unaware of, is that Aya is secertly filming them (or so she thinks). During their dangeous expeditions into the mountains, they see some strange things and find out a dangerous seceret no one wants to know or keep. Someone has to tell though, right?When Aya kicks her feed that makes her one of the most popular people around, she descovered that she has unleashed a very dangerous seceret. One for her, her friends, and for everyone, and she's not prepaired to do what it takes to stop it from coming true.
