Plot

In 1971, NASA launched space probe Pioneer 10 for a mission on Jupiter, but the probe later found a portal that drove it across the universe at light speed. The event was witnessed through a telescope by Kirby Freeman, a smart, young student from New York City who lives with his college partner and secret romantic interest, Bobbi Cortez, whose father, Jake, is a police officer. Some time later, two mysterious beings transported alien races across the universe. So Kirby, Bobbi, and Jake must work together to solve the mystery these heroes are on Earth before a group of villains threaten to destroy it.[1]
