Rand and No Name learn the truth about Torq and must decide what to do about it...

Episode 03

Welcome to the Machine, an enormous, ancient, broken device that has become home to a million souls. After a hundred generations spent without doors or windows, all knowledge of the outside world, if any, is lost. Today, society is split between the all-powerful Upperfolk, who rule, and the helpless Lowerfolk, who work, suffer, and die.

Helpless, that is, except for Torq, the Lowers Champion.

Concealed behind his golden mask and armor, Torq alone fights for justice and freedom. Until the day when sixteen-year-old Rand Roberts, the poorest of the poor, witnesses his hero’s demise and subsequently discovers Torq’s disillusioning and heartbreaking secret.
Now, Rand decides, it’s time for the Machine to have a new Torq. A better Torq. A REAL Torq.

Let the revolution begin...
