Raised in a privileged part of a future dying world, Suyin is struggling to fit in to a way of life devoted to “things”. Jobless and aimless, she spends her days reading, walking and gazing at the odd star just bright enough to shine through the blanket of gas and light that hides the boundless universe. On her way back from a hike one day, Suyin sees a paper note stuck to the wall of the zip-train, a sight unseen in a world of screens and lights. The note “Unique individual wanted for expedition into space to test habitability of new planet. Need to be intelligent, creative and courageous, with sound general knowledge...” Deeply interested though doubtful she has the qualities needed for the mission, her very identity and self-worth depend on it. She can’t find her place on earth. Could she find it on another planet beyond the blue veil?
