Eco-defender Jake Chee manages to nab a spot aboard the Phantom Run, a massive factory trawler believed to be involved in illegal fishing activity. With stealth tech and agenda cast in shadow, the Phantom has roamed the seas for over a year, furtive as a mirage.



From his position on board, Jake hopes to catch them in the act and bring the Phantom to justice. But as days pass, he sees no sign of illegal fishing. Moreover, the crew seems oddly ill-suited for such a task.



A week to sea, a mysterious apparatus is built on deck. It looks more like a giant celestial telescope than anything fishing related. Jake is not part of the construction nor is he privy to its purpose. Like the overall vibe aboard the Phantom, the machine projects an aura strange and enigmatic.



From out of the blue Jake's health starts to decline, hindering his mission further. He'd been diagnosed with autism as a child. Following a natural healing approach, over the years his symptoms had been greatly reduced. Now, however, he wonders if the stress has triggered a relapse...



...or is this something else.



When the strange machine is fired up, and its objective revealed, Jake is shocked. His relatively simple eco-campaign suddenly rises to another level, the potential environmental disaster out of this world on the spectrum of peril.



Out in the middle of the Pacific with no backup, Jake finds himself in a battle with unimaginable forces. It's a race against time to save the planet, an impromptu call to duty. Exhausted and vastly outmatched, he must find a way to endure and get help...and somehow turn the tide on the greatest eco-catastrophe yet.
