How amazing would it be to have a dad who's an astronaut?

Hanging out at his local observatory, Jamie picks up a strange signal on his phone. It looks like alien life is getting closer to home.



But space is a dangerous place and when his dad's mission goes wrong, can Jamie prove that he's a hero too?
