Rudow and Maggie are Marsies, native to the aging corporate colony, though she’s married to a company executive. As their red-hot affair heats up, he realizes there’s more to her than he thought. A lot more.
Earth has sunset support for the colony, but fixits like Rudow are doing their best to keep things running, like that day in Maggie’s penthouse suite at the center. The Company wants everyone to stay so they can exploit the minerals of Mars, but Earth wants all of them to take a trip out of the solar system.
As the decision to stay or go looms, Rudow makes a play for Maggie’s love.
