Cousins Riley Halfmoon and Maya Dawn have just moved to Urbanopolis to live with their activist grandmother, and the transition is anything but smooth. Riley is highly social and deeply misses her Muscogee community, while the introverted Maya misses her deployed parents and just wants to be left alone with her gadgets. Despite their differences, they are forced to navigate a brand-new middle school together.
Just as they start finding their footing in the gymnastics team and the robotics club, a sinister force threatens their school's culture. Uncovering a web of money, power, and lies orchestrated by an influential adult in disguise, the cousins realize they cannot fight this battle apart.
Throwing their hats into the ring for class president, Riley and Maya shift from clashing rivals to a cooperative, crime-fighting duo. Combining Riley's exceptional people skills with Maya's brilliant technological inventions, the two become everyday superheroes determined to protect their community and save the day.
