Sinopsis

Navigate the galaxy, visit several planets, and join our heroes on stage in The Quantum Vault: Holographic Heroes.

Doug 'Cowboy' McAllister, a recently resurrected holographic human, faces an impossible challenge: lead a ragtag Team Vault to victory in an Intergalactic Dance-Off. With the mysterious Luna by his side, the love of his life, he must overcome not just his two left feet but also deadly assassins, poison, electromagnetic 'containment' fields, political intrigue, and a powerful empire determined to keep dancing illegal. As Team Vault recruits a 'very sexy' dancer who is deadly with knives and a trainer-bot named 'Rocky' who doubles as their pedal-to-the-metal chauffeur, they uncover a sinister conspiracy threatening their very existence. When their enemies close in and team members face imprisonment if they lose, Doug must master the dance floor and opera to try and win the event. But Doug is poisoned and subject to suspicious 'containment' fields in the hospital. He makes a daring escape with the help of Luna, who enters her terrifying 'Medusa Mode,' complete with venomous and electrocuting snakes coming out of her head. Freddie, the scientist who thinks he is Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., applies a defibrillator to charge Doug up so he can go full physical mode with superhuman strength. Their star ballet dancer sprains her ankle on the day of the Dance-off. Vrie, a male alien with blue skin, dons her tutu and a pink wig to take her place and takes the stage with Doug, who used to be terrible at karaoke and will now sing opera in front of billions.

After the outcome of the Dance-Off, Team Vault is still pursued by assassins. This danger, combined with the opportunity to prevent a devastating World War III in the 21st century, Team Vault travels back 437 years to Earth to 2026. They enter a World Dance-Off, K-pop style, to gain publicity so they can deliver their life-saving message,

This science fiction comedy adventure combines romance, dance, opera, shoot-outs, and knife fights in an absurdist space opera. If you love Douglas Adams' humor, Star Wars' epic scale, and Footloose's rebellious spirit, you'll be captivated by Quick Savant's wildly entertaining and non-stop adventure.
