A Navy commander recruits teenagers through a secret program to develop a `Continuity of Culture` plan for preserving human civilization and technology after a potential global catastrophe, since government officials are too focused on political infighting to address the threat. When the teens propose a science fair project to begin introducing these survival concepts to the public, they secretly enlist help from a local UFO enthusiast group, creating an unlikely alliance of military personnel, psychic teenagers, and civilian experts working to prepare humanity for what may be an inevitable extinction-level event.
