Space Opera’s Synopsis:

The Survivalists are refugees from uninhabitable earth.  They’ve found a time capsule with a message written in an ancient language that can only be decoded in the top security library on planet Clak Clak, where no Survivalists have ever been.  They must leave Earth and hope that they can sneak into the library and decode the message, which they believe holds the key to saving Earth.  They sing songs of hope and community and adventure.

When their spaceship crashes into the wall around planet ClakClak, they learn that ClakClak is an inhospitable planet with a quirky leader, General Diva, who makes her Agents learn dance sequences without any music. The Survivalists soon learn that ClakClaks don't know how to sing - they’ve never even heard music before!  Their adventure takes them into the home of ClakClaks, the high-security library, General Diva’s office, and more as they try to find the answer to how to save the earth and escape from ClakClak - or find a new home altogether!
