What happens in Capture the Flag from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

12-year-old Mike Goldwing is not just any kid; he comes from a legacy of NASA astronauts, with both his father and grandfather having ventured into space. However, his grandfather, Frank Goldwing, now lives a life filled with regret, having been estranged from the family after losing his chance to participate in the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Enter Richard Carson III, a billionaire from Texas who harbors ambitious plans of claiming the Moon as his own, intent on mining its rich Helium-3 resources. To further his agenda, Carson spreads a false narrative suggesting that the historic moon landing was staged. With ambitions sky-high, he devises a scheme to travel to the Moon and eliminate the evidence—the American flag placed there by the Apollo 11 team.
