Cranston Academy: Monster Zone tells the story of Danny, a 15-year-old genius bullied for his intelligence, and Liz, the daughter of a famous scientist whose legacy she strives to overcome. While Danny struggles to fit in at school, Liz is determined to be recognized as a genius on her own merits. When Danny is unexpectedly offered a scholarship to Cranston Academy - a secret, prestigious boarding school where Liz is the number one student – the two become instants rivals. In his quest to prove his intelligence, Danny inadvertently opens a portal to another dimension and unleashes a slew of monsters. Liz and Danny must set aside their rivalries and with the help of their half-moth, half-man professor, Mothman, overcome the creatures of the 5th dimension to save the school.
