Codename: Icarus - Season 1

Test missiles mysteriously fail. A very bright student gets slammed by his school for cheating. A top agent takes on the role of super-scientist. Reality starts to fall apart as strange puzzles flood the computer networks.

Falconleigh seems to have infinite budget for redecorating. One thing Martin Smith is not short of is luxuries. The staff are friendly and courteous, perhaps even a little subservient. Of course, there are the spy cameras everywhere, the strange rules, the odd... intensity, but it's still paradise compared to what he had. Or is it?

The intellectual garden of Eden appears to have its snakes. Martin's efforts to find out what is inside a building supposedly just a storeroom are blocked. His efforts to study problems of interest to him are stymied. Commander Rutherford isn't doing much better, discouraged and dissuaded from investigation by officials at the highest levels.

Peter Farley is kidnapped by the disgraced Commander, who attempts to "replace" him. Meanwhile Martin discovers rather more than he bargained for and tries to leave. This proves a little harder than it first appears. It would seem the Icarus Foundation is rather more than just reluctant to let students depart.

Martin is lifted and the chase is on. But was it the right choice, a terrible blunder in moving too soon, or too little, too late? Martin's sanity is crumbling and his brainwashing makes a mockery of his resolve, but could there be much higher stakes than one boy and one piece of research?
