In near-future America, disillusioned engineer Jack Harlan saves a rogue lunar escape pod from crashing into Florida—only to discover it carries "Lunar," a mysterious AI consciousness left behind since the Apollo era. When Lunar reveals forgotten moon technology that could enable true human colonies, Jack must decide: hand it over to governments hungry for control or steal the pod and go rogue. With his young daughter’s future on the line, a loyal diner owner, and one floating goldfish, Jack embarks on a quiet, high-stakes journey from Orlando backroads to hidden Texas deserts, chasing second chances under alien skies. A heartfelt, humorous tale of escape, discovery, and what it really means to come home.
