Feature Synopsis:
They’ve been keeping the world running for ages
and now they’re running for their lives!
A light bulb goes off overhead and then out of the blue turns back
on. A doorbell is pressed to no avail and then suddenly rings. A
car engine refuses to turn over and then revs to life! What force
is fixing our machines? Who are these secret helpers? People have
long suspected that inside of machines are tiny repairmen, and after
the hit paranormal TV show Baffling Enigmas offers a $100,000
prize for the capture of a “mythological Fixie”, people
the world over start hunting for them furiously. Children are especially
caught up in the frenzied pursuit, chasing Fixies with hammers,
vacuum cleaners, and aerosol cans. Where can the Fixies run? How
can they save themselves? A talented scientist from the Fixies’
Operations Center (The OpC) invents what she believes is
the perfect solution - the Hat-O-Mat, a device that allows Fixies
to slip away from people by traveling directly through electrical
wires.
However, as is often the case, a new technology designed to solve
one problem ends up only creating other unforeseen ones. When the
Hat-O-Mat is stolen by Cathode, a Fixie who wants the hat to escape
the Fixie life he despises, the situation becomes perilous, not
only for the Fixies but for humans as well. And only Quip, Cathode’s
younger brother, can stop him. Quip must face his fears and become
a hero to save his brother, rescue his fellow Fixies, avert a technological
catastrophe, and make sure that humans don’t uncover their
secret world.
