Here's the story...
On their way home from a school excursion, Roo, Umba and Metric, three teenage classmates from the planet Éire who have never previously spoken to each other and are opposites in personality, shape and form, are suddenly knocked off course by an electric pulse that's travelling through the universe.
They become shipwrecked on the long-forgotten, ancient prison planet of Fomóire, a threatening world of monsters, magic, and secrets, hidden in the universe's Red Zone.
Here, they're greeted by Jeannie - a magical, reflective prism. By shaking hands with Umba, Jeannie learns that the teens are not a threat but merely lost and good natured, so she decides to become their guide.
Teamwork makes the dream work!
To aid them in their defence against the planet's dark forces, Jeannie empowers them with the ability to work together by assembling themselves and combining into one unit - HOLT, a super being who has the wisdom and power of all their planet, parents and ancestors. Holt can fight off most monsters, but can only sustain its form for a few minutes at a time.
After Roo, Umba and Metric overhear a strange being's secret message, it becomes clear that the universe is now under attack from an evil, ancient race known as the Blight. The teens must now not only survive planet Fomóire, but also gain allies to fight the Blight and help save the universe if they are ever to safely return to Éire, their home world.
Holt, produced by Igloo Animations, is streaming now on RTÉ Player.
