Marty and Steve may live on the moon, but that doesnât mean they donât want to get away every once in a while. So when Steve makes the suggestion to skip school and take a lunar car out to explore the moonâs surface like real astronauts, Marty thinks itâs a great idea.
But the fun quickly ends when the lunar car crashes, stranding Marty and Steve beneath the moonâs surface.
There, in a bizarre, cave, Marty and Steve find the unexpected: a world filled with various plants, food, and lifeâŚincluding a man who supposedly went missing more than one hundred years before. The boys think that theyâve found the most wonderful place in the galaxyâŚbut they soon learn that the joy comes with a price.
