After being teased one too many times at school, 12 year-old Ignatius MacFarland decides to build a rocket. Maybe extraterrestrials are nicer than his classmates! But instead of landing in outer space, Ignatius ends up in another frequency ruled by bitter former English teacher, Chester Arthur. Mr. Arthur has taken the advancements from our world and passed them off as his own, so everyone in the frequency thinks he's a genius. It's up to Iggy and Karen, another trapped earthling, to expose Mr. Arthur for the fraud that he is—and to hopefully make it home alive.
