THE STORY
In the near future…
Jonathan DeVane must assemble a rag-tag team of misfits in an attempt to stop a devastating attack on Earth by malevolent alien raiders called “Astrals“. Can DeVane and his pack of underdogs find salvation in each other, and overcome the demons of their sordid pasts long enough to save the world?
…or is doomsday inevitable?

Despite the objections of shuttle pilot, Jeannie Lewis, DeVane defies mission protocols and
ejects the Venture’s payload, learning the hard way that detonating a nuclear device so close
to your ship probably isn’t a good idea– especially if you can’t outrun the debris field!

Ten years after commanding the disastrous Venture mission, bad-boy ex-astronaut DeVane still can’t stay out of trouble. At least he has a fast car!
