Spoiler-Free Plot
In a dystopian future, Earth has been devastated by natural disasters and human actions. This led to a tyrannical government that controlled the remaining population. Most survivors lived in underground bunkers, but a few, like Violet Murphy, continue to inhabit the treacherous surface. The government proposes abandoning Earth for a new planet.
However, Violet and her newfound allies, Jack, Mason, and Emily, are skeptical about it due to the lack of transparency surrounding the plan. As they investigate the government’s intentions, they uncover disturbing secrets, including a mysterious “Project Noah” and a sinister census, while Violet finds herself drawn to Jack.
Thrown into a dangerous journey without warning, Violet, Jack, Mason and Emily must summon their courage to overcome a series of shocking obstacles that threaten to derail their quest.
