The year is 2049, and we most certainly are not alone...
A miraculous, life-enhancing microbe has been discovered on Mars and the race is on to bring the organism back to Earth. But failed physicist Jack Harding has his own reasons to get to Mars firstโto save a dying, seven-year-old boy. All he must do to succeed is break the lawโthe law of gravity. To make the mission to Mars, Jack must perfect a ground-breaking anti-gravity technology and avoid being killed by ruthless billionaire, Travis Locke, a man who has no qualms with breaking a few laws himselfโeven murder. The life of a young boy, one of five orphans entrusted to Jackโs care, hangs in the balance as Jack struggles between the man he once was and the man he hopes he can be again.
