If I understand you correctly then yes - you can have a splat as your default route. You would do something like this in your root shell:

router.map({
    moduleId: "child/shell",
    route: "*details"
});

And then in your child's view model:

var childRouter = rootRouter
    .createChildRouter()
    .makeRelative({ moduleId: "child" });

// Uses "child/defaultPage" as the view model, and "#/" as the route
childRouter.map({
    moduleId: "defaultPage",
    route: ""
});

Hope that helps.
