How amazing would it be to have a dad who's an astronaut? Rocket launches, zero gravity, and flying through space like a superhero! Jamie Drake's dad is orbiting the Earth in the International Space Station and Jamie ought to think it's cool but he just really misses him and just wants an ordinary family. Everybody always wants to know about his dad but aren’t that interested in him.

Jamie goes to the local observatory, as his dad has told him all about it. It is now out of bounds to people but this doesn’t stop Jamie. There he meets Professor Forster and 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?
