A comedy about the mad desire to catch a falling star.

Jack 'Space' Hopper is an Exuberant - meaning he hunts for meteorites. So if your house has been hit by a rock from outer space, he'll turn up on your doorstep with money in his pocket, a magnet on a stick and a mad desire to touch your fridge.

Jack's on the hunt for a space rock that's come down somewhere slightly to the east of Aberystwyth. His arch nemesis, and object of unrequited desire, is the flame-haired, musk-scented Aurora. But who will find the rock first?
