Christian Jamieson sits in the long grass on Cannington Ridge, his favourite hilltop near his home. He watches the evening sky darken and sparkle with countless stars. His wish, as far back as he can remember, has been to travel to one of those stars to meet the people who he firmly believes live on the planets around them.

A new star appears and changes his life and that of all mankind. His wish becomes a reality that he could have never imagined.
