In performing the spell, the boys unwittingly release Tegan, a powerful teenage chaos force with a score to settle. Tegan’s appetite for revenge causes a string of catastrophic battles and as the link between their world and Negative Space grows more tenuous, the godlike child Bear, guardian of the multiverse, unleashes the full wrath of the Restoring Demon. The Nowhere Boys find themselves reluctantly drawn into an epic showdown where they discover that to save the lives of their loved ones and return stability to their world, they must make the ultimate sacrifice… themselves.'

'When tech-nerd and sci-fi fanatic Luke (Kamil Ellis) arrives for his first day at Bremin High all appears to be tiresomely ordinary, but what he doesn't know is that Bremin is located at the convergence of magical ley lines and that someone has been awaiting his arrival to put together a new gang of Nowhere Boys. Three other Nowhere Boys have already been identified; 'bad boy' Heath (Joe Klocek) high achiever and soccer star, Nicco (Luca Sardelis) and musical theatre geek Jesse (Jordie Race-Coldrey).

'Coinciding with Luke's arrival, the people of Bremin start disappearing. Doubly peculiar is that, not only are they disappearing, but they're being wiped from everyone's memory and only the Nowhere Boys have noticed! Eventually Luke, Heath, Nicco and Jesse discover they are the last four people in the world. They find themselves thrust together in an eerily empty wasteland, forced to figure out how to save the town.' (Production summary)
