Overpopulation has caused Earth's natural resources to diminish, and people are struggling to survive. Thirteen-year-old Ari is looking after his little brother, Joni, who has fallen ill with a mysterious virus.

Working together, the brothers manage the impossible and they soon discover that Kepler62 is more than just a game. It's an invitation—for an adventure, to the outer reaches of our solar system.
