The fateful Apollo 13 lunar mission launches; the world wakes to learn The Beatles have broken up; and a precocious boy named Billy celebrates his 9th birthday. Escape with Billy into his fantasy adventures as Captain Apollo, commander of the starship USS Constellation One - otherwise known as the family clothes dryer. Evil is afoot in the universe, where he fights intergalactic hitmen, takes on the ruthless gangster Mack the Black, and must rescue the beautiful Empress Lucinda from her evil clutches. Meanwhile, in the "real world," Billy's older brother, Sean, is acting strange, the class bully makes it his personal goal to torment Billy every chance he gets, and to top if all off, Billy and Sean are both forced to make choices to protect the ones they love. Fantasy and reality collide when the Apollo space mission goes terribly wrong, Captain Apollo must fight for his life, and one nerdy little kid struggles to survive in both worlds.
