Marc was just a regular teenage boy living on Planet Draco, spending his days doing the usual day to day for a successful adolescence studying, playing sports and interacting with his friends. But then, one fateful day something changed when he awoke with an additional sense of knowing. A feeling he'd never experienced before, it was as if he could hear and feel the pain of the universe.

At first Marc thought nothing of it, but when strange occurrences start happening around him, Marc starts to think something more sinister is going on. In a desperate attempt to give him answers, Marc and his best friend, Telly, investigate a rumor of an ancient monolith located in the Valley of Four Suns. However, when they arrive, they find out that the monolith is much more than they anticipated and Marc realizes he’s been chosen by a higher power to cross the cosmos and stop the monolith from coming to full power.

Little does he know that he isn’t alone on this mission. As he soon discovers, the monolith is capable of doing unnatural and irreversible damage and that this almost unachievable task is going to require teamwork and a smart strategy. Marc is teamed with a mysterious telepathic alien named Jude, who offers his services to Marc in the battle against the monolith.

Throughout their journey, sparks fly, as Marc and Jude form a deep connection. Despite his sarcastic attitude, Jude is able to bring out the best in Marc and explain his power to him as they travel through time and space, looking for clues as to how they could stop the monolith. At times they find themselves fighting against all odds, dealing with the harsh reality of being so far away from home, and all the while trying to find out, what part they both play in the bigger picture. As their journey progresses, Marc is forced to confront the realization that he has world-ending powers, and he must find the courage to use them.

With their mission reaching its most critical stage, Jude and Marc come back to Planet Draco, fighting for the survival of the universe before the monolith can be activated. As they come within an inch of their goal, desperate times calls for desperate measures and Marc must rely on his powers, and his wits, to end the assault, alter their fate and put a stop to the monolith once and for all.

In an epic climactic battle, Marc and Jude use their powers together in a desperate attempt to defeat the monolith, but it almost seems to be too late - until an entirely unexpected saving grace reveals itself in the form of Marc’s old best friend, Telly. They become unstoppable and finally manage to destroy the monolith.

Sensing the success and power of Marc, the populace of Planet Draco rise in jubilation and proclaim him a hero for his courage in the face of fear, with Jude by his side. They drive out the dark forces that threatened their world and free the people from their suffering.

Marc, happy but overcome with emotion, hugs Jude, thanking her for her guidance and help throughout their quest. Armored with newfound understanding and confidence, Marc turns to look at the stars and ready to move onto his next adventure. The two turn, walking hand in hand, away from the planet with a new understanding of their combined strength and just what they are capable of achieving.
