Mia lives on earth in an age where just stepping outside your front door requires an air filter and fresh produce is a luxury good. There is another way. You can move to the recently terraformed planet Terra Nova, but leave behind your family, career, everything you've ever known, and you can never go back. Most importantly, the trip alone costs millions and once you get there even the most basic things are exorbitantly expensive. Some exceptional scientists, doctors, and engineers get their life on Terra Nova sponsored in exchange for their work, like Mia's sister Brooke. But Mia is just a graphic design major whose most notable achievement is a logo for a chain of Mexican Korean fusion restaurants. What does she possibly have to offer? Herself. And that's how Mia Best, an educated young woman with her whole life ahead of her becomes a mail order bride.
