And a girl who is determined to get her and her family on board. After receiving the last four tickets aboard the STARLINE, seventeen-year-old Lina McAddams thinks that finally, everything is going to be okay. Her and her family are going to leave a decimated Earth behind and restart their lives, embarking on the STARLINE's one-hundred year long journey to "paradise." It seems that nothing can wrong. Until Lina wakes up from hypersleep fifty years too early. And she is the only one. Frightened and alone, Lina slowly begins to unravel the true intentions and destination of the STARLINE company, realizing that maybe, just maybe, the spaceship is not going to the "paradise" it advertised that it would be going to.
