Isn't it strange that humans have never found any form of life outside of our planet?
There are at least two billion stars in our Milky Way, and one hundred billion galaxies exist in just the observable universe alone.
Maybe we're just not searching hard enough.
Maybe other life is out there and just isn't intelligent enough to grasp the idea of other worlds.
But what if it is?
And it's just waiting for the right time to strike.

The Earth was once ours, beautiful, lively and perfect for life that is until. Humanity had finally done it. World War 3, a battle between humanity marked the end of all life on planet earth. They used guns, bombs, tanks, ships, planes, nukes and even worse things but...it wasn't enough. The Presence of radioactivity on the entire surface into the seas had completely made the planet extremely inhospitable and so many went underground for safety. But our species of course is too stubborn to fix our mistakes. We simply ignored them and with the greatest advancements at our hands we looked into the stars to find a new home. A new place to be, building large spacecrafts that could support a stable population for At Least a few millions of years. That could travel for lightyears in case we did find a home, in case we found another place to be where we could possibly restart ourselves again and expand into the unknown and well eventually we did find a new home, a planet called Kepler 22b...the last hope for humanity, Kepler-22b (also known by its Kepler Object of Interest designation KOI-087.01) was an exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of the Sun-like star Kepler-22. It was located about 640 light-years (200 parsecs) from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus discovered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope in December 2011 and was the first known transiting planet to orbit within the habitable zone of a Sun-like star, where liquid water could exist on the planet's surface. Kepler-22 was too dim to be seen with the naked eye but was traceable enough to be a future homebase for our species but as to be careful we didn't leave fully. Humanity sent out one of its finest ships to go out into space and scout out the planet to make sure that it was habitable and not a complete waste of time. But unfortunately, and mysteriously The Ship would never return, instead plunging into the planet mysteriously for an unknown reason.

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.
