Can eight teenagers find their way home from 5,000 light-years away? It's the year 2063, and interstellar space travel has become the norm. Eight students from Caird High School and one child set out on a routine planet camp excursion. While there, the students are mysteriously transported 5,000 light-years away to the middle of nowhere! Will they ever make it back home?! The situation aboard the Astra intensifies as Zack reveals to Kanata that the ship's communication system has recently been sabotaged and it's likely one among them is the culprit!
