Synopsis
Fourteen-year-old Renton Thurston lives a suffocating, boring life in the backwater town of Bellforest, dreaming of riding Trapar energy waves on his lifting board like his hero Holland Novak. Renton's mundane existence changes forever when a legendary transforming mecha called the Nirvash TypeZERO crashes into his grandfather's garage. Out steps Eureka, a mysterious, green-haired girl who pilots the craft for Holland's anti-government rebel faction, the Gekkostate. Entrusted with a mystical device called the Amita Drive, Renton joins the Gekkostate crew, embarking on a turbulent coming-of-age journey to protect Eureka and uncover the truth of planet Earth.
