Post-apoc. - 100 years after WW3, the world is just starting to recover from the atomic and hydrogen blasts. Only a few rare places on Earth are still capable of holding life. And for the remaining greedy, who says rare says marketable. Sent to collect samples of the fauna and flora of Site 36-B, (name) makes a frightening discovery which can once again change the course of humanity.

Space - Humanity has colonized planet 78-URU-389, most commonly known as New Earth. Only a few are chosen to make the 20 years voyage from our once blue and green planet. Promised a new and improved life on New Earth, voyagers come en masse to the launch site, hoping to illegally climb aboard. It is the case for a poor Detroit family who was able to get on one of the last vessels of the year.  After 10 years living aboard the spaceship, the youngest makes a terrible mistake: he exposes his entire family to the crew-members trying to recover a plate full of food. Ensues an anxious story of hiding in the spaceship, avoiding being caught and soliciting help from trustful passengers. But are they really that trustful..?
