Captain Ernesto Aguilar is not having a great day. His airline lays him off, and then he arrives home just in time to see his garage explode. Strangely, the blast doesn't damage the building. Instead, it opens access to a spaceship from the future. Seeing a serendipitous opportunity to generate income to support his family, he secretly attempts to operate the new vehicle. He's an ex-military pilot, so how hard could it be?

It isn't long before he finds out his secret isn't as hidden as he believes. Federal authorities suspect he is up to something, and a brutal attack sends Ernesto, his family, and two friends fleeing into space. They struggle to survive while wrestling the cruel dilemma of how-or even if-they can ever return home. An unexpected rescue possibility may present an opportunity, but Ernesto is forced to choose between saving his family or preventing tragedy. Knowing who to trust could save their lives.
