When everything leads Idina and her team back to her Muirden ancestral home in Scotland, the mission takes on a completely different meaning none of them saw coming.

Humans have gone too far, wrecking planet Earth. We might need to find a new planet. But who could possibly help us do that? The AstroNuts!

They were built to be automatically launched into space to check out possible Goldilocks planets if things on Earth ever got too bad. Unlucky for us, things just got too bad.
