But a disastrous wrong turn and exposure to a mysterious experimental gas shatter their plans, inadvertently trapping them inside a colossal, leaning tower. This isn't a hospital, but a secret spaceship, now launched unexpectedly on a one-way trajectory towards Mars. Light-years from home, with a malfunctioning craft and dwindling supplies, these ordinary boys become humanity's accidental pioneers. They must confront the terrifying unknowns of deep space and brace for a perilous landing on an alien world, teeming with enigmatic life.
