It's been forty years since Captain [=McQueen=] was whisked away to another galaxy via wormhole, and he's living a pretty crestfallen life afterwards, especially after the death of his wife thanks to breast cancer. Nobody believed Duke when he claimed he visited an alien world and was hailed its hero, but he didn't mind the scrutiny when he had a pretty decent life to live. With the death of his wife, [=McQueen=]'s nostalgia for the glory days have caught up to him. Fortunately, destiny came to him one rainy night.
