MFC Studios hasn't added a story.
Designated is the story of two warring alien races fighting over a powerful new energy source, and five kids who gain super powers.
Set
in the 90's, in a desperate last ditch attempt to hide a newly
discovered power source that could change the tide of their centuries
old war, King Tesson, leader of the Peace-loving
Forlunds, sends his finest warriors across the galaxy to
protect and hide the star fragments so that no one, not even the
leader of the War-Like Jeronians, King Brigan, could ever
use them.
This leads us to our heroes, 4 young adults (and one five year old boy) who gain powers as a result of being in surgically implanted with the fragments.
