An overlooked engineer is sent to Alaska to scope out an eccentric scientist's claim that capturing lightning can be a new source of renewable energy. Upon her arrival, she discovers the research center is just one guy - self-proclaimed "doctor scientist" Lucas Fletcher - and his technology consists of toys, trash, and duct tape. Determined to win a promotion, Mia joins Lucas in his search for when and where this mythical "SuperBolt" of lightning may strike, all as he fends off angry townspeople, park rangers, and his headstrong Auntie Amy.
