When retired friends, Jasper and Celeste, leave the Fairview Retirement Home via Jasper’s newly-constructed Mealie-Moon-Rocket, they find themselves unwilling participants in an epic conflict between the Darkside and the Lightside of the Moon.
Together with the good-hearted, celestial Empress Kazandra and her trusted confidant Moonie Moonrock, the intrepid troop endeavours to overthrow the maliciously vile Emperor Zarcon and his scheming goons, Pitch and Dark.
