Set in the far distant future, the uber-rich Dunk family have ambitious plans to dominate the universe by acquiring new planets beyond the Solar System. Blayden Dunk, heir to the Dunk family dynasty, has bought himself a new toy - a one trillion Dunk dollar, state-of-the-art gaming yacht (spaceship) named the Dominator. When Blayden attempts to ‘jump’ the Dominator to the opening of his father’s new casino, the ship is involved in a catastrophic collision with a freighter ship. Many of the crew and passengers are killed and the Dominator is stranded light years away with only emergency battery power. As the remaining crew try to repair the ship, they discover Dunk nanites have been released. Dunk nanites are tiny machines engineered to inhabit the body to keep it healthy and prevent attacks. The nanites are part of the Dunk’s plan for immortality, but they are evolving at an alarming rate, and tearing the ship apart bit by bit. The crew’s only option is to tame the nanites before they destroy the ship and kill everyone in it. Meanwhile, a spy named Cher from an independent colony, has infiltrated the Dunk family. As she helps the Dunk family try to rescue their son, she is on a special mission to stop the Dunk’s domination and save her home planet.
