When universes collide, Mark, Blackie, and Wayne get sent on the biggest adventure of their lives.In a rush to load Wayne’s 1957 Chevy Nomad, the band had no idea the green tinted light bathing them in the parking lot was more than an impending hail storm. In fact, it was a tiny sliver of space occupied by two overlapping universes. When the universes pulled apart, the green light disappeared...so did Mark, Blackie and Wayne, and the station wagon. There was no more parking lot, no more bar, and no Hell-Otis highway.Landing smack dab in the middle of a high plain on Alphus Nebulum, they had no idea where they were, or that they would soon be arrested. What they did know is that they weren't on Earth anymore. Using the Jump Starter they received from a mysterious prisoner in the cell next to theirs, the group escaped. Unfortunately, they still had no idea where they were or how they were going to get home. Wayne said he had a sneaking suspicion that things were going to get weird - bass players are sometimes remarkably clairvoyant like that - though weird might have been a bit of an understatement. Team up with this ragtag group as they travel the universe and confront every manor of unknown in an attempt to get themselves home.
