When they find that the system they have been raised in does not care for them, eight kids from different classes and backgrounds fight to change what they think is a shifted system—with a little ancient help—or risk everyone they love and know being done dirty forever.

I loved the idea of characters complaining about the world that surrounds them.
But I'd like to know more details about the characters lives and way of thinking: are they lower-class? how do they know each other? why do they think the system doesn't work for them? what do they do to fight for the change?
Also, I need more explanations about certains terms in your logline. What kind of ancestral help? Does an old familiar of one of the kids help them to change their perception?
