Children from all over the world are trying to complete the video game KEPLER62. Marie, the fourteen‐year‐old daughter of a wealthy arms manufacturer in Norway, uses unorthodox methods to win. But what is her prize? Marie is flown to Area 51 in Nevada, where she's recruited into a select group of children who are leaving Earth to investigate and settle on a faraway planet believed to be capable of supporting life. Marie is advised not to go on the mission, but it's no longer her choice.
