In a flashback scene, siblings Alex and Hayley Woods, and their father Carter Woods, are seen saying farewell to Ryan Woods, their mother and famous astronaut who is about to become the first female astronaut to orbit the moon on a new rocket ship, the Athena. The family are watching the launch in their home when they see the rocket ship explode on their TV screens. 8 months later, it is revealed that Alex is applying to Greenhouse Academy to honor his mother’s memory. Hayley drives Alex to Greenhouse Academy. Upon arrival, Alex introduces himself to Daniel, captain of The Eagles basketball team. He then proceeds to take the written test, whilst other main characters are introduced – including members of both the Eagles and the Ravens (the two opposing clubhouses at the Academy). Alex partakes in the physical test to join the Eagles but is sabotaged by Daniel, whilst Hayley watches from the sidelines and meets Leo, captain of the Ravens. Louis Osmond, head of Greenhouse Academy, offers both Woods siblings a place at Greenhouse, Alex in the Eagles and Hayley in the Ravens.
