About this listen

In a dusty attic filled with forgotten treasures, ten-year-old Leo stumbles upon his late grandfather's greatest secret: an old shortwave radio picking up a mysterious, rhythmic pulse from the stars. It’s a ghost signal from Mars.

Teaming up with his best friend, Maya, Leo discovers the signal is more than just noise—it's a complex blueprint for an impossible machine. Following a trail of clues left in his grandfather's journal, the two friends embark on a grand scavenger hunt to piece together a strange device from junkyard scraps, borrowed parts, and their own ingenuity. But when they finally power it on, they don't just receive a message; they open a window. Staring back at them from the red plains of Mars is a lonely rover with a secret that will change their world forever.
