After flunking out of the only training facility for space pilots, wise-guy Nax Hall prepares to return to Earth with three other rejects. An attack on the facility forces the group to flee with terrorists in pursuit, setting them on a collision course to save the space colonies. Set in 2194, this wild, comedic interplanetary adventure features a diverse cast of characters, romance, a grand heist, and plenty of snarky humor.
