A story that takes place on an not so distant future, where Earth has lost its paradisiacal beauty and human race looks for new frontiers on the space. Gabriel Dargo, a leader engeneer of a proyect to colonize Mars, discovers by casuality a conspiracy. Casuality that after all it was only a matter of time to be unmasked, the same reason that took his father right to the tomb. A story that presents the psycology on human duality, that constantly alternates the "real me" with the "masked me" to be able to fit into a established society. UPDATE: I feel like I've lost the focus on this story so I'm gonna rewrite everything again, little by little. As you can see I have sub chapters in each chapters so I'm gonna divide them in little chunks so I can focus better on every single detail in order to polish my story.
