In the year 2401, eleven-year-old Jimmy Aster is a curious and resourceful student at the elite Aster Academy of Science and Technology. When his dad vanishes during a high-stakes environmental mission, Jimmy launches a daring quest across the wild and wondrous terrains of Planet Miro.

He's joined by Tala, a brave and intuitive healer, and Derek, a quick-thinking inventor with a knack for building brilliant solutions. Each hero brings unique strengths—alongside loyal animal companions whose courage and cleverness rival their own.

Together, this team of kids and creatures must decode ancient puzzles, face powerful threats, and uncover long-buried secrets that could determine the fate of their world. But as the danger rises, Jimmy must lead with heart, courage, and a deep trust in science—and in his friends.
