The Challengers are members of the "Academy of Extreme Sports" on the French Riviera. In order to attend this school for champions, they were selected among the best candidates. Cap Esterel is the perfect setting where they can practice varied athletic pursuits such as rock climbing, surfboarding, competition four wheel drive, parachuting, water skiing, mountain biking...

In this live action series, our heroes are faced with a sports challenge. To win, the academy students must triumph over danger, physical hardship, sabotage, self confidence crisis, as well as the psychological pressures inherent to the competition of top level sports.

This sports academy is also a school of life. Cathy, Paloma, Fabrice and the others are always experimenting new adventures and each episode dramatizes a situation involving one of our characters: romance, jealousy or solidarity in the face of adversity, sentimental or moral disappointments... The world of sports, like life itself, is not always as pure as our young idealists would like to believe!

Learning how to face defeat or savour success without hurting the group as a whole is not so easy... Especially at an age where commitments are everything; where emotions, like challenges, are extreme!

Through the harsh moments of rivalry, the cheerful campus atmosphere will always triumph!
