Thomas soon discovers he has a special connection to the maze and, along with his friends Minho, Newt, and Teresa, works to uncover the truth behind their imprisonment. Their journey leads them to shocking revelations about WCKD (World Catastrophe Killzone Department), a secretive organization conducting experiments on them as part of a survival test in a post-apocalyptic world.
