Promotion

Before the show was premiered on Yes Israeli, it was advertised online using teasers, that requested the public's help in finding a missing teenager, Zuri Barlev. Visitors who clicked the banner, arrived to a website stating Zuri is missing, and that assistance of the public is requested. In addition, a blog and a website were opened by an account with the same name, to add more features to the promotion. The comments about the promotion were mostly negative, stating this way of promotion is highly unwanted due to its danger of confusing the public [http://mizbala.com/?p=756] .

Plot

The story tells about Zuri Barlev, who moved with his father, who was fired from the ministry of education, to a city in the southern part of Israel called the NRV (Nuclear Research Village). The technology at the NRV, is much more sophisticated than everyday technology. The village was started during Moshe Dayan's years. It all started when Moshe Dayan and Noah's father found a portal in the Negev, and began researching it. Before Noah's Father's death, he gave a special "key" to his son, Noah, and told him to grab onto it, because it is the world's only surviving artifact from the earth's first years. NRV residents have different colored tags. Blue represents low, green represents pretty high, for certain employees, and red represents the highest level, only given to administrators and researchers. Zuri afterwards discovers that some NRV residents had a relative, who died two months before they moved in. Afterwards, he and his friends discover it was Noah who killed their relatives, in order to bring them to the NRV. Some time later, Zuri arrives to the minus 5 (-5) floor, which he there finds the portal. He enters it, and discovers the spaceship (Gachnect Americofabish). The spaceship contains a dangerous combination of various gases, which cause people to go insane, and lose control of their actions. But, somehow, the air combination does not have any effect on Zuri, for some reason. Later on, he discovers that the owners of that spaceship, who were aliens, used to throw their criminals into that planet using the portal. The planet actually served them as some sort of, "jail" for the criminals. However, the special alignment and ingredients of the atmosphere, caused the criminals to obtain "super-powers". Because of that reason, it is why the locals called them, "Ha'Nephilim", or, in simple English, "The Outsiders". Several days later, Zuri discovers he is one of them, when the computer's hologram, a female "human" (Yamit Sol (linked to Hebrew article)), shows him a video recording of the past spaceship commander. Some time later, he enters the spaceship with Noah, which disables the force field, set by the previous commander, to stop other "unique people" from using their abilities. Noah succeeds, and suddenly a lot of people, discover their abilities. Ranging from, freezing, controlling people and putting them to sleep through dreams, super-speed, super-strength, super-stretch, which its effect is rendered horribly, duplicating, starting fires by mere thoughts, and more. Due to that reason, a person named Assaf, which discovers his abilities as super-strength and shield creation, teams up with Noah, to find the other outsiders, and take control of the spaceship, as it can control the entire planet it's facing.
