Jake Sandvig (Sky High, A Bag of Hammers) portrays Marty, whose felony conviction requires that he serve prison time as a moon laborer. Nonetheless passionate about his job on the moon, Marty is investigated for engaging in possible espionage and sabotage when a giant blast goes off near an area where he was working.
