Summary:

It's 2018, and for the past 6 years, the government has been seriously discussing living in space. They have finally decided it is time to scope out some guinea pigs. 10 people are chosen from every state in America, going through a series of physical and mental potential tests to determine if they will be able to hold out in the conditions of space. They are each given a token for a house, a car, and certain amount of Oaks, the currency of Oaklyn city. They have developed a completely self-contained society inside a space enabled structure. They will float around Neptune, where the government has decided will be the best place. Everything is ready to go. Now all they need is to go. The story is told by thirteen year old Saige, who unhappy with her orphan life, runs off to the recruiting center for the space project, hoping to find someone who will adopt her and take her up into space where her sad life can't find her again. Lucky for her, Aerika Beldyn wants a daughter. They go up to live in space, both happy when their new start, but bad things start to happen, and there is nothing to stop them...
