In the year 2048, an 11-year-old boy eager to begin a new life at his dream school has a rude awakening. Ace Wells has long dreamed of attending the Biological Enhancement Systems Technology Program, or B.E.S.T., in which cadets enter tracks to receive augments that enhance their bodies and minds. Regular school was never easy for Ace--his brain doesn't focus like other kids'--but B.E.S.T. isn't all he imagined either. He soon makes an enemy; almost gets eaten by Otis, an AI elevator; loses his assigned group of cadets during orientation; and manages to alienate his illustrious boxmates, Grayson (son of the founder of B.E.S.T.), Leo (superstar BESTBall player), and Jayla (top of her cadet pack and recipient of a rare augment). Frustrated that his dream is crumbling, Ace slowly realizes that being himself and playing to his strengths may be more advantageous than he thought.
