America's huddled masses are seeking opportunity in a new world--and teenager Gary Grime is willing to do whatever it takes at have a chance at a better life, even if it means going to Mars. Hundreds of thousands, knowing there's a price for their chance to survive hibernation take a desperate gamble. Worse, that's only the first challenge, surviving on Mars is a bigger one. It's a world that could take decades, if not centuries to make habitable.

Aire's somewhat satiric tale of the mass immigration experience to Mars.
