Iain and Roy wake up from their respective dreams to find themselves in a holding cell aboard a ship that isn't human with aliens guarding the door. As they execute a plan to take over the ship, little pieces of information start filtering through to Iain as he slowly works out what has happened to them and how to get home.

An adventure story about two guys in an impossible situation trying to find reason. What is the device the aliens wear on their throats? What is wrong with the stars outside? Why is their written language so familiar? And what will happen when they work out the truth of their situation?

Two blokes from London in a cell in their underwear, and the only way out is through the hundreds of soldiers sharing the ship. But can Iain figure it out before Roy gets them both killed?
