The year is 2070-something and Jacob Jibberson is a senior scientist on a project designed to create a livable environment on Mars.

With just months left on the mission something has gone wrong with the project. The Robots and a handful of stationed humans have stopped responding to communication from Earth. At the same time all satellite monitoring ceases.

Jacob is assigned to a small team tasked with traveling to the red planet to investigate… What they find will put the entire future of the human race at risks.
