Storyline

Now eighteen years old, Zenon Kar enters the high-stakes Teen Supreme Moon Rally to out-maneuver her competitive rival, Bronley Hale. At the same time, she aims to assist her activist friend Sage Borealis in preserving the Moon’s delicate environmental ecosystem from aggressive corporate resource exploitation. When space-pop icon Proto Zoa announces a massive lunar benefit concert, Zenon must balance her piloting instincts with planetary diplomacy to prevent a catastrophic power grid collapse.

  • Director’s DCOM Legacy: Director Steve Rash took over helm controls for the final chapter, bringing extensive comedic timing background from previous teen-centered feature comedies.
