Description

When Julia unexpectedly inherits a modest fortune, she quits her bookstore job and sets out to secure the future she’s always imagined—a husband, a home, and a respectable place in society. With a crisp new suit and a bus ticket to Los Angeles, she feels the thrill of possibility, even as her father watches with a mix of pride and concern. Her plans hinge on finding the right partner, a quest that feels as much a personal adventure as a social climb.

Unbeknownst to her, a silent drama unfolds far above Earth. A massive, wheel‑shaped station circles the Moon, housing both alien caretakers and a legion of engineered mutants who plot a daring strike against humanity. The tension between the alien overseers' confidence and the mutants' restless ambition creates a looming menace that could change the world’s destiny. As Julia embarks on her ordinary journey, the shadow of this extraterrestrial conflict begins to edge ever closer to home.
