Earth, 2293. Boy genius Jason King has been sentenced to life aboard the giant prison ship, Equinox, to be frozen in a state of suspended animation, a fate considered worse than death. To his horror, Jason wakes up in his containment cell immobilised, disorientated, but fully conscious. He soon discovers that he has unique abilities which allow him to escape captivity, sparking a race to build the world's first faster than light drive on board the Equinox in a bid to escape the solar system, setting in motion an incredible interstellar adventure.

It's been six years since their arrival on Carac, in the Alpha Centauri star system. Wielding superior Earth technology and his special abilities, Jason King transforms the once medieval and backward planet into a force to be reckoned with, improving the lives of everyone and winning the favour of King Wilbur, but the ambitious Jason has an agenda of his own and has his sights set on the throne. Meanwhile, a powerful enemy is out to capture Jason, dead or alive.

Jason King has been dealt a severe blow with the destruction of the Equinox and the death of the woman he loved. He must now choose to accept defeat or rise above his circumstances, with revenge on his mind. Meanwhile, the urge to return home, to Oceanview, his hometown, simply can't be ignored any longer.
