An extraterrestrial paddleship forcibly teleports an old man and his feathered friend from Earth to an intergalactic pickleball court. On a floating space platform, the bewildered pair are forced to battle Potopus, a tentacled, supreme intelligence fused from their childhood memories. Outmatched and overwhelmed, what energy can the pair summon to defeat this omnipotent foe?
