For those living in the first colony on Mars, life couldn't be better. No war. No poverty. No climate change. An adventure of a lifetime. Though that's not the case for the planet's newest arrival, Leo. The young man has already made enemies, has been assigned a dull job, and he can't even remember signing up to make this place his new home. To make matters worse, colonists have started to disappear. Back on Earth, Alex is in panic mode. He finds out that contact with Mars has been lost, and it could be his fault. As a rising star in the space programme, it's not questioned when he volunteers for the perilous voyage to find out what has happened to the colony. Against the constraints of time, Leo and Alex must uncover the truth. But the dangers of space are about to become the least of their problems.
