Nova (Sam Alexander), she enters a tri-state scholastic challenge. However, as
tensions from the upcoming Civil War stir beneath the surface, the trio faces
challenges that go far beyond test scores and formulas. As the competition
heats up, so too do ideological rifts and personal doubts, setting the stage
for greater conflicts to come.
