Premise

The narrative unfolds on Terraqua, a planet predominantly covered by oceans—95% water—with numerous archipelagos scattered throughout. The series centers on the Tikis drone racing team—members Corto, Enki, Mouse, and Oro—originating from Nuï island. They compete in the Whale Cup, an intense drone racing championship fueled by eel-like creatures known as G.E.N.I.E.s. Their ultimate goal is to protect their island from the threat of submersion caused by rising sea levels.
