In the sundrenched, peach-scented state of South Carolina, where the trees sway to the rhythm of the southern wind and the waves of Myrtle Beach play an endless game of catch with the soft sand, an exciting buzz fills the air. Here, the kids are not just ordinary kids, oh no! They are the spectacular squadron of drone pilots, a group of cool, tech-savvy adventurers known as the "Byte Flyers!" SC kids are as sweet as the state's famous peaches but don't let that fool you. They possess quick reflexes like the legendary grey squirrels leaping through the palmetto trees! With a drone controller in their hands, they transform into masters of the sky, commanding their high-tech flying machines with the skill of a seasoned pilot and the imagination of a comic book superhero. The leader of the Byte Flyers is a quirky, charismatic boy named Dynamo Dexter. Dexter, with his freckle-speckled nose and ever-cheerful grin, sports a pair of over-sized aviator goggles on his head, giving him the appearance of a mad scientist, ready to take over the world! Dexter's hair is as unruly as a bunch of cotton candy in an electric storm thanks to his trusty drone that often uses his hair as a landing pad. Together with Dexter, the Byte Flyers explore the beautiful landscapes of South Carolina from above, swooping over the misty Smoky Mountains, zipping over the bustling cityscape of Charleston, and even chasing the dolphins playfully swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. Through their drones, they get to see their beloved state from a bird's eye view, making their lives in South Carolina more exciting than an alligator riding a unicycle!
