A fresh start, a queer social liberal dream, and a planet that wants to kill you. Having escaped Earth as a deadly pandemic took hold, autistic scientist Devon and her fellow colonists are hoping for a fresh start on Mars.Mars isn't exactly hospitable to the newcomers, though. With the weight of loss hanging heavy on them, they must overcome their differences and find a way to survive as they adjust to life alone on a hostile planet.The group - 150 women and 10 men - are determined to get it right this time. Their society is peaceful and diverse. They accept one another's differences and prioritise sustainability over short-term gain.Scarcity of resources means they can't have fully automated luxury gay space communism - so they strive for partially automated queer social liberalism.But things aren't always what they seem and maybe the colonists aren't as alone as they thought.
