Another day, another virtual football-foe defeated. But when Wendy's videogame victory culminates in a seizure, her friend and opponent, Andy, is understandably concerned. All's not right with Wendy and the duo need help to understand what exactly is happening to her.

Luckily the Medikidz, a group of super-powered action heroes with attitude, are on hand to help. Pump, Chi, Skinderella, Gastro, Axon and their trusty robot Abacus whisk the pair off on a tour of Mediland - a distant planet shaped like a human body - where the first stop is the brain itself! Andy and Wendy get an up close and personal explanation of what happens inside the brain when someone has epilepsy and exactly what causes an epileptic seizure.

Join the duo on their adventure across the four great lobes of the brain, as the Medikidz demonstrate exactly how neurons work to pass electrical messages and how things can go wrong. When the group is caught in a dangerous electrical storm, Andy and Wendy will see for themselves exactly what takes place in the brain to cause a seizure, and the Medikidz will use their own unique superpowers to explain all about the treatments which are available.
