One boy must cross the galaxy to save the father he never knew. Petrick longs for a life outside his simple orphanage. On his backwater, technologically-averse world, even talking with his friends about the science that spurred space travel and colonization is forbidden.

One fateful night, the lessons turn into a cry for help, and it's up to Petrick, his dog, and his friends to escape and find his father. But the worlds beyond their home planet are more treacherous than they ever could have imagined. On their quest, they encounter space pirates, advanced androids, and growing unrest that could tear the galaxy apart.
