When an earthquake awakens him at a senior party he attends with his two closest friends, they find themselves face-to-face with a powerful starship created by an ancient civilization - a Caveship. Taken aboard against their will, Nicholas and his friends find themselves traveling farther and farther away from Earth, while the starship automatically pilots itself toward some unknown destination. Now, Nicholas and the ragtag group of teenagers must work together to find a way back home, facing incredible dangers on strange alien worlds, all while at the mercy of a starship hellbent on reaching its target.
