These five - Wilson Wilson (Desmin Borges), Samantha (Jessica Rothe), Becky (Ashleigh LaThrop), Ian (Dan Byrd), and Grant (Javon 'Wanna' Walton) - believe that Utopia holds the keys to saving the world. There are plenty of potential bidders, including a wave of fanboys, but our ostensible heroes are a crew that met on a message board and take Utopia very, very seriously.
