Twelve-year-old triplets Ori, Roe, and Tora, along with their older brother Theo, are gifted with extraordinary powers from their magical backpacks, ancient silver rings, and the enchanted Mirror Tree. Together, they race against time, aided by Theo’s companions—lions, tigers, and black panthers —to save Drifters Realm.

As friendships are tested, the siblings attempt to stop their estranged uncle, First City Leader Zane, who wields the supernatural powers of the Guardians. His plans to conquer the TimeLess, HalLows, and UnKnown realms set off a chain of explosive events, threatening to destroy Drifters Realm.

As earthquakes tear their world apart, the siblings search for hidden clues within the First City library, guided by fiery messages written in the night sky. Their courageous journey in search of the elusive Blue Wall takes them through underground tunnels and caverns, towering pines, meadowed forests, and a strange red-rock high plains desert—with the help of the outcast teenagers known as the Menace.
