Historia ambientada en un planeta lejano. Los habitantes de la Tierra que se establecieron allí sufrieron un misterioso fenómeno llamado "Verano del Amor", que fue conjurado por un científico militar llamado Adrock Thorston que dio su vida para proteger a la humanidad.

Renton Thorston, hijo de Adrock, es un chico de catorce años cuyo ídolo es Holland, el líder de un grupo de mercenarios conocido como Gekko State, que aparentemente son sólo una guerrilla independiente enfrentada a un gobierno opresivo, pero su objetivo es conseguir ponerse en contacto con los "Coralians", unos misteriosos seres, para impedir la guerra que la Federación Unida tiene previsto iniciar contra ellos para conseguir el absoluto control del planeta.

Highway Patrol was a syndicated, fictional police action series produced from 1955 to 1959, concerning the activities of the highway patrol and their leader, Dan Matthews (who held no rank). Although filmed in and around the Los Angeles area, the state setting for the stories was never identified, and city and street names were fictionalized.

The Secret Rulers of the World was first shown on Channel 4 in April 2001. The five-part documentary series accompanied creator Jon Ronson's book 'Them: Adventures with Extremists', which covered similar topics and described many of the same episodes. Both the series and book detail Ronson's encounters following theorists and activists residing outside political, religious, and sociological norms.
