Captain Charlie Hong and the crew of the Starseed are faced with an impossible choice: save a planet from its dying star or fulfill their promise of hosting a peace summit for a desperate system locked in a cyclical three-way war.

Now Charlie must race against time to solve the murders and take back control of the Pineapple Express before it’s too late—all while confronting the darker aspects of his own stoned mind.
