Jackie works tirelessly to keep herself and her scatterbrained younger sister fed on their dusty mining planet, so she's furious when her sister trades away their food replicator for a strange alien bean. When the bean sprouts into a colossal beanstalk overnight, Jackie climbs it to demand answers and instead meets Cormac, a towering green alien who has quietly longed for her from afar. Swept into his hidden world above the clouds, Jackie must decide whether to trust the armored giant who has upended her hardscrabble life. It's a playful science-fiction spin on the classic 'Jack and the Beanstalk' fairy tale.
