It combines animation with full narration and an original soundtrack.

The SHOCKWAVE media player, needed to view THE QUAD, is free and can be downloaded from the Tiger website at www.tigertoys.com.
The four main characters that make up THE QUAD are:
- Arrio Firman: A proud Latino with a piercing gaze and an equally
sharp mind. Arrio has trouble with those not as smart as he is -
meaning, everyone. The implants his "rescuers" embedded in his
head give his already-superior intellect an enormous boost. Now,
he not only thinks faster and more effectively than anyone on the
planet, he also has access to all information on the web, making
him a true know-it-all.
- Madison Skye: No matter the danger, Madison always seems to be
smiling, like she knows something you don't. She chalks up her
optimism to a good family life and a healthy concern for other
people. Her legs have been reengineered allowing her incredible
speed.
- Dexter Nolan: An off-beat rocker with a style all his own. What
Dexter lacks in subtlety, he makes up for with a sharp sense of
humor and his incredible implanted super strength. Some think his
slightly devilish smile indicates he's feeling or thinking
something much deeper than what he's saying, but in most cases
Dexter's a very surface kind of guy, and what you see is what you
get.
- Kaitlyn Chu: Kaitlyn's wide eyes seem to absorb many of the
subtle details from the world around her. There is a serenity in
her demeanor, as though she could will herself to disappear.
Though as westernized as her first name indicates, her Asian
heritage has taught her to first solve conflicts internally. Her
implanted psychic abilities allow her to observe things that
others overlook.
