In the shadowy depths of a post-apocalyptic Earth, humanity clings to survival underground, away from the radioactive wasteland their world has become. Above, relentless robots—leadies—wage an endless war on humanity's behalf, or so it seems. When Taylor, an inquisitive mind burdened with doubts, is propelled into an unsanctioned journey to the surface, he uncovers a reality far removed from the truths they've been fed. In a world where nothing is as it appears, the line between protectors and deceivers blurs. "The Defenders" weaves a tale of mystery and suspense, questioning the very nature of war, peace, and the essence of humanity itself.
