"Saya kira tidak adil, Pak, kalau Bagas tetap bisa ikut Olimpiade," tiba-tiba Meddy dengan lantang angkat bicara. "Memangnya relevan, ya?" ganti Clara angkat bicara. "Bukannya tim Olimpiade adalah siapa pun yang lulus seleksi? Kalau kasus Bagas dikait-kaitkan dengan FUSI, itu kan media yang melakukannya." "Sangat relevan, Ra," tukas Meddy menyambung Angga. Nada suaranya agak keras. "Ketika kita semua bekerja keras untuk mewakili negara ini, Bagas malah melakukan tindakan melanggar undang-undang. Itu kan kontradiktif!" Di tengah panasnya persaingan para peserta pelatihan untuk menjadi anggota tim Olimpiade Fisika, kasus hacking yang dilakukan salah satu peserta pelatihan, Bagas, muncul ke permukaan. Lembaga pelatihan FUSI—Fisika untuk Siswa Indonesia—kini menjadi sorotan. Para sponsor mulai menarik dananya untuk lembaga tersebut. Keberangkatan tim ke ajang Olimpiade Fisika Internasional pun terancam gagal. Padahal merekalah putra-putri terbaik dari berbagai daerah di Indonesia yang akan berjuang mengharumkan nama bangsa di ajang internasional itu. Bagi mereka gagal berangkat ke Olimpiade membuat kerja keras mereka selama ini menjadi sia-sia. Dengan didorong semangat Mestakung, akankah para peserta pelatihan itu mampu mengubah keadaan dan tetap berangkat untuk mengharumkan nama bangsa?
