Flynn (Chloë Grace Moretz), who is the main character in The Peripheral, is struggling to keep her family together. She may be witty, brilliant and ambitious, but she is also doomed - because her future is naught. 

After she takes on her own brother's security job in what they both believe is cyberspace, Flynn soon discovers something that could possibly change her future forever. 

Wilf (Gary Carr) is the other main character in the series, and he lives in the 22nd century.
