Things aren’t going great for Anna, or the rest of the planet for that matter. As executive director of a flailing conservation organization, she has a front row seat to a global mass extinction event. As her mother’s caretaker, she’s reminded daily of our inevitable decline. And though a ubiquitous augmented reality platform renders a pretty face on it all, the flood waters keep rising, the food supply keeps dwindling, and there is a pervasive sense that humanity’s best days are behind us. Which is why the worldwide search for the first Mars colonists arrives just in time, offering hope that there, alongside a human species attempting to start over, Anna can start over too. Now she just has to get her hands on a golden ticket.
