Synopsis
In order to save their home, two rival pilots must enter an intergalactic race and claim the fortune that goes to the winner.
Nova and Vega, two fledgling pilots from the 25th century, both dream of becoming the best aviator on New Earth.

Now, both teenagers are faced with greatest challenge of their lives - they must race through dangerous tracks, compete against the best pilots from across the galaxy, and must overcome every obstacle without killing each other first.
