Nineteen years old Cameron Cody lies in a hospital bed in disbelief
while thinking how much changed in a short time. He reflects on how was about to take Kristi
Banks to the ultimate party house and soon afterward start on Western
Washington University soccer team.
Instead according to specialist Dr. Singh he has one year to live because
of some freaking brain tumor. While his
parents are devastated and his friends awkward; his BFF Mason reminds Cam that
he may be dying, but he always was a doer, so do. A stranger offers Cam an exciting exit
strategy as a hero, but starting with his immediate fake death; Cam accepts.
Not long after he “dies”, Cam meets the other nine teen teammates who
also share with him the one year death sentence. As the original ten Terminal teens work
dangerous missions around the globe, some die during the execution while others
prematurely perish under questionable circumstances that Cam and the others
still alive choose to ignore. That is
until Siena, who faked her death as the lone survivor of the previous team,
arrives to paint an ugly picture of their handler and his associates to Cam and
company.
The Terminals is an exciting action-packed tweener-young teen
thriller. Although the key cast is underdeveloped,
the young audience will appreciate these Teen Titans (nod to DC comics) globetrotting
escapades; stealthy expanded by those dwindling still alive investigating the
organization that recruited them.
