Eons ago, on the planet Regnum, a man appeared on a mountain cliff wearing an environment helmet and robe. He directed the placement of five pound ruby balls in pyramid formations along the edge of the cliff. In current time, twins, Sarah and Germaine Thompson, perform tricks on their BMX bikes along the Mississippi River walkway until they are confronted by a bike gang. The gang taunts, and then chases the twins. To escape their pursuers, Sarah and Germaine perform a daring leap from an overpass walkway onto a grass hillside. Later, while relaxing in the backyard of an abandoned house, they notice something unusual. They investigate the anomaly and step from the yard into the control room of a spaceship. After their fears are calmed by the mechanical voice of ST1, they request to be taken to George Road Jump bike park in New Zealand. ST1 returns the twins to the backyard and gives them a riddle, which if solved will lead them to the ship. Aboard the ship again, they meet a Watcher by the name of Novo. He has watched them perform bike tricks and has chosen them to observe Prince Ronan during the national trapod race on Tabletop Planet. Novo wants to know if the Prince has the strength and wisdom to lead his people against a looming space alien invasion. To create an understandable cover story, Novo creates the appearance of the twins winning a three week all expense paid bike camp. After much thought their mother consents to the twins attending the camp. Rather than camp, Novo and the twins travel to Tabletop Planet, known locally as Regnum. During the trip Novo alters the twin’s DNA making them true Regnums. Sarah and Germaine are taller, stronger, have longhair, red eyes, long slender fingers, and retractable fangs. The twins are trained to fly the Regnum bike known as a trapod. While practicing on their trapods the twins are observed by Prince Ronan. The twins are invited to a pilot dinner at the royal palace. While speaking with Sarah, at the dinner, Prince Ronan senses something special about her. Wanting to learn more about Sarah, the prince invites her to fly with him the next day. Events unfold which lead to a strong bond between Sarah and Prince Ronan. Together, Sarah, Germaine, and Prince Ronan battle to save Regnum.
