A ten-year-old boy named Chris comes across a communication device sent from beings on a distant planet. The device sends out a distress call like a beacon searching for a hero. The planet is in the grips of a terrible creature called Shaderon who is intent on extinguishing every light source the planet holds. Chris is given an opportunity to save life on another planet and is given a flying hover board to travel in space all the way to Plintar, the distant planet seeking his aid. The flight there is only half the battle because once Chris arrives in Plintar the adventure really begins.
