MADDIGAN’S QUEST. EPISODE 1.

“Set several hundred years in the future, Maddigan’s Quest follows a group of circus performers led by Maddie (Cormack and her daughter, Garland (McIver. The troupe is based in Solis; a place that was formed following a cataclysmic climate change many years earlier. Solis is regarded as a blend of the countries that used to be New Zealand’ and Australia’.
Solis has rebuilt itself from the ashes of a ruined city and takes its name from the sun, as the city is powered by solar energy with the help of a solar converter. As a result, people don’t go hungry, there is limited technology and entertainment, and the enlightened system of government mostly works.

However, the Council of Solis haven’t told the citizens the solar converter is wearing out. To get a new one involves a long and perilous journey; the last emissaries who went for the converter never came back. The Council decides to send new emissaries, a group of people that travel often, and therefore no-one will suspect a troupe of circus performers known as Maddigan’s Fantasia’.

Early in their journey, the Fantasia meet two mysterious boys: Eden (Zac Fox and Timon (Jordan Metcalfe. Garland learns they have come from the future to help the troupe with their quest. They bring magical powers and a Talisman that must be protected at all costs. But they also bring danger. Now, with their help, Garland must use all her ingenuity to save her friends, the Fantasia and the future.” TVNZ.CO.NZ
