The day started out normally for fourteen year old Jacob Lerner and his twelve year old brother, Martin. They had the day off and went to their father's Space Startup company, Low Orbit, for take your child to work day. What started out as a simple childish prank ended up as a fantastical journey, as both boys are launched into space and sucked into a freak wormhole. What follows is an amazing journey through the far reaches of space, encounters with violent alien races, cybernetic implants, and a desperate struggle to get home.
