The TV series aired in Canada on provincial broadcasters TVOntario, Access, SCN and Knowledge. The show debuted in late 2003 and lasted for two seasons.
Plot
The show follows the character Max, who one day was fooling around with a museum rocket display and accidentally launched himself into space. He lands on "Deafplanet", where he meets a deaf teenager Kendra (Amanda Richer). She only uses sign language, but with the help of an interpreting robot, Max is able to understand her. She is determined to help Max get back to his home.
