Plot
Season 1
From its origin, the human race has traveled the planet constructing it and destroying it with the same intensity. In the last decades, humans have achieved great advances in science and technology in a very accelerated way. Because of these advances, people have distanced themselves from others to the point that they forgot those who are and are on Earth. In the wake of this oblivion, at the end of 2012, humanity began a 105-day countdown that will lead to either its destruction or revival.
The future of the Earth depends on six young humans: Noah (Juan Pedro Lanzani), Azul (Oriana Sabatini), Maia (Mariel Percossi), Manuel (Agustín Bernasconi), Franco (Julian Serrano) and Valentín (Joaquín Ochoa). They all have something in common: they're as powerful as they are weak, as attractive as they are lost, as revolutionary as they are violent and as isolated as they are connected. With the help of The Feminine Energy Creator (Dolores Fonzi), these young people will be assisted by seven beings of light: Ian (Pablo Martinez), Venecia (Jenny Martinez), Inti (Nicholas Francella), Ámbar (Lola Morán), Luz (Oriana Sabatini), Devi (Carolina Domenech) and Gopal (Maximo Espindola). They come from various parts of the universe with the goal of becoming the Allies of these young people and help in the mission of saving the "human project". After these 105 days, they'll face a new enemy who is closer than they think.
Season 2
The second season premiers on Sunday, April 6, 2014 on Telefe. This season will be focused on the war between the Light Beings (Angels) and their human allies against the Morks (Demons) until it ended on Sunday, August 3, 2014.
