Based in the asteroid belt and centering on the successful mining family, the Stone’s. The series explores what could life be like for multi generational cultures based in space. What might be the value of water. What is someone's personal word worth five hundred millions kilometers away from Earth. Can the twelve billion residents of Earth survive without the industrial farms of Mars, Luna, and the asteroids.
