Content : In 2125, climate change, pollution and rising waters harshly affect life on Earth. Most of its inhabitants are poor and crammed into slums, whereas the elite benefits from a comfortable life under the Dome.
Each week, the New Earth Project organizes a lottery and takes the fortunate few on board interstellar ships for them to become the pioneers of a new arable planet.
Smart Isis, a “grey” originally from the slum, is selected at random with her family, after meeting Orion, a rich “untouchable” living under the Dome. Upset by her departure, Orion will investigate on the NEP… and discover the terrible truth.
An addictive and dense scenario! In a future savaged by pollution, two teenagers totally opposed are drawn in a vast conspiracy. New Earth, the promise of a better life? It may well be a tricky question…
