In space, no one can hear you whine about your job. Pete, Brian, and Kelly toil day after day to send Earth's hazardous waste away to be burnt up by the sun. After dealing with the garbage every day, they return to the surface and a world reeling from the aftermath of a civil war. Tired of complaining to the emptiness of space, they devise a plan to get back at their oppressors. What started as a prank turns into a struggle between life and death, liberty and enslavement. After spending their lives on the sidelines, all three are thrust onto the field, the star players in a geopolitical showdown.
