Earth is ruled by an alien group called the Masters through their powerful TriPods. Once humans turn 16, they are subjected to a procedure called capping, which enforces their minds into submission for the aliens.
An alien race called the Masters conquered Earth using giant Tripods. When humans reach age sixteen, they undergo capping, which controls their minds. In 2089, cousins Will and Henry Parker set out to find free men in the White Mountains after learning the truth.
