Premise[edit]
Season 1[edit]
In 1997 four kids vanish in Silverpoint woods. Twenty-three years later, one boy aims to find out what really happened.
Season 2[edit]
Dragonfly compete against three other groups in a series of challenges designed by a strange alien presence. Each task takes place in a very different alternate reality and these sixteen kids must now use their wits and imaginations to win. And the prize they’re fighting for? To save the world…
If a group should lose, or decide to quit, the alien artefacts will wipe their memories of the whole adventure. For Dragonfly, the stakes couldn’t be higher – if unsuccessful, they’ll not only lose the game, but also their memories of each other and everything they’ve been through together. Put simply: they’re fighting for their friendship.
