It’s Seckry's second year at Estergate Institute, and things are already shaping up to be just as eventful as his first.

A new lesson called fringe science has been added to his timetable, Mrs Cutson is acting more sadistic than ever, and two exchange students from Norsegate have arrived, causing trouble and provoking Seckry and his friends.

But with a major update having just been implemented, can Seckry and his teammates adapt quickly enough to outwit their opponents and capture the win?

Before long, homework is mounting and Friction training is at its most intense, leaving Seckry very little time for distractions. But the enigmatic scientist Kevan Kayne, thought to be dead, has appeared in the city with a shocking claim about Eiya, and Seckry is forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about her existence.

And in his ongoing quest to uncover the truth behind his father's mysterious disappearance, Seckry unearths a secret buried deep within the school grounds.

A secret that is about to change his life forever.
