2033: Ben Sawyer has died from his injuries, leaving Hana Seung in charge. As the mission’s ground controllers scramble to devise alternatives and solutions for the astronauts on Mars, they also find themselves struggling to justify continuing the mission to the international consortium funding the exploration of Mars. The workshop dome providing the crew’s shelter is not meant to serve as a long-term habitat, and its overworked electrical system catches on fire, leaving it partially uninhabitable. The only chance the mission has to succeed – and the only chance humanity has to colonize another planet – is to find an underground chamber with abundant ice.
