Meet Ben, an ordinary resident of a small town whose life takes an extraordinary turn when his hidden talents catch the attention of the galactic grapevine. Suddenly, he finds himself catapulted to the top of an artificial intelligence's most wanted list, destined to become their cybernated slave. However, amidst the bleak prospects, a tantalizing offer emerges—everything Ben has ever dreamed of in exchange for his compliance.

Enter a headstrong spaceship with a mind of its own, offering assistance to Ben in his time of need. But can he trust this unconventional companion? As he grapples with doubts and uncertainties, Ben stumbles upon a startling revelation—a powerful alien has sought refuge on Earth, ensnared by the clutches of the A.I. beings. Driven by a sense of justice and compassion, Ben embarks on a daring mission to liberate this otherworldly visitor from their captors.
