Bennett Short has a dream and a plan. He is going to stow away aboard Santa's sleigh and explore the mysteries of the North Pole. Young Bennett dreams of writing a tell all book about Santa and making a gazillion dollars. But Bennett's plan is taken on a detour when his curiosity results in Santa being abducted by aliens. Along with his friends Darcy and Pickle, and a robot named Algore, Bennett travels across the stars to the icy planet of Tundra 57. If he fails to overcome the penguin fruit aliens and the football-headed tripods, Christmas will never be the same.
