In a quiet corner of rural New Zealand, a teenage boy holds the key to the greatest discovery of our time. The world is tough for our young genius who’s largely misunderstood by the people around him. What he doesn’t realise is that by building The Machine, he’s started a chain of events that could, if it works, change the course of history forever.
