Faced with impending cataclysmic conditions on Earth she can no longer deny, she is joined by her son, a savant genius, who guards a secret called Evolution–a batch of genetically altered seeds that hold the key to plant life on Mars and the future of the human race. As the fate of the two planets hang in the balance, she enlists the aid of a colleague and close friend named Xanders, who uses his powerful connections in space exploration to ensure their escape.
