Mark, Stacey, and Bobby pool their resources and create a craft the likes of which the world has never seen. After weeks of building, testing, and flying, the gang finally has a workable spacecraft that operates on magic and engineering. But as the space flight test approaches, Stacey starts to worry that Mark is pushing himself too hard. When the time to leave the atmosphere finally arrives, Mark is given the chance to follow his brother’s signal and finally discover what happened to him. Can Mark avoid the temptation? Or will he push his prototype to its limits?

Mark and Stacey set out to build the world’s first starship powered by magic. But through trial and error, they realize they’re still missing one important part of the team—an engineer. Meanwhile, Bobby tries to impress the cutthroat General Irving with rescue drones that could fly into combat situations and save lives. But when Bobby is kicked out for not thinking of weapons applications, he’s brought into the fold by Mark and Stacey to help build their vessel.
Can Bobby and Mark survive the first test flight of The Stargazer? Or will Mark’s impatience to save his brother seal their doom?
