Each year, 500 babies in the US are chosen at random, genetically modified to adapt to life on Mars, and sent there. This has been going on for fifty-seven years, and people there haven't gotten suspicious. But mars is changing. It's slowly becoming inhabitable. Nearly 29000 people lived there, and it's been narrowed down to around 16000. People there are dropping like flies. And if Aryel doesn't do something soon, nobody will survive. Aryel Foster is so terrified of losing her life, she would find any way to stop it. And she does just that. She delves into research, her friend Melody Parks at her side, and they discover what's been going on. But only by accident. They discover the control center in the middle of Red Sand City is where newborns are being shipped in, and scientists are being shipped out. In a hasty attempt to survive, Aryel and Melody gather their friends and break into the control tower. They steal a pod and set off for Earth. The thing is, none of them know how to make it to earth or fly a pod. And what happens if they make it there?
