Description

Is a mother’s love a match for a devotee’s grit?

Amma runs a mining platform in the sky of Uranus, but after a family tragedy, she reevaluates priorities.

While earthbound, the family redirects to a Mayday from a ship of refugees fleeing a coup, but unbeknownst to Amma, one refugee isn’t whom he appears to be and ruthlessly plots to see his own plans through.
