In the waning years of the 23rd century, the people of Planet Gaia live under the iron grip of a corrupt regime, fed a lie that a meteor strike destroyed the Earth, but the truth is far darker.
Earth has been repurposed as a brutal prison planet for the "Purify Program." When Ward, a young hacker, is framed for treason, he is exiled to this desolate wasteland of mutated nightmares.
But the inmates aren't just surviving; they’re plotting. Led by the calculating Chadwick, a seven-year resistance has been bribing guards and stockpiling resources for the ultimate jailbreak.
They have the starships locations, but they lack the key: someone to bypass the orbital security gates.
Ward is the final piece of the puzzle.
To save his sister, who was sentenced before him, he must form uneasy alliances with the very convicts he fears.
Together, they must orchestrate a high-stakes "riot" to fool the regime while Ward hacks a system designed to keep the truth buried forever.
On a planet where everyone could be lying, the most dangerous thing Ward can do is survive the gauntlet of Earth’s unforgiving wilderness.
