SYNOPSIS: Inept philosophy student, Felix Knight, unexpectedly finds himself joining forces with alien commando Kaiser and Ella, a young woman working in the shadows of power, to embark upon on epic quest to rescue the rightful heir to the Kingdom of Shambhala, Princess Nima, from the evil Lord Drakko.
STORYLINE: Inept philosophy student Felix Knight is headed for academic failure and a seemingly forever mundane existence until alien commando Kaiser is sent to Earth to protect him. Unbeknownst to Felix, he is at the centre of a millennium-long battle of cosmic proportions as he discovers he is the last person in the way of evil emperor Lord Drakko’s plan for galactic domination. Felix and Kaiser then proceed to join forces with a young woman called Ella, she works for the government in the shadows of power and tries in vain to convince her colleagues that Felix and Kaiser are the key to saving Earth for an imminent alien takeover. Along the way, Felix also must rescue the princess of the Kingdom of Shambhala from the evil Lord Drakko, as well as discover the Sword of Malice, the only object that can defeat the otherwise immortal Lord Drakko. A race against time ensues as Felix, Kaiser and Ella try to save the Earth as well as prevent Lord Drakko from marrying the princess – her wedding vows having the power to undo a curse placed on Lord Drakko one-thousand years ago. Will Felix man up to the challenge at hand? Will Princess Nima be rescued in time from the evil Lord Drakko? Will Earth be spared from enslavement?
