The year is 2045, and AI and the internet is technology that is possible even in the cold void of space. When a large-scale accident happens on a brand new space station orbiting Earth, leaving a group of children from Earth and the Moon stranded in space, they are forced to use their own knowledge of internet, AI, social networking and drones to survive, hoping for rescue. But was what happened to their station an accident, intentional, or foretold? And what can these naïve children possibly do on a highly complicated piece of machinery orbiting the Earth?
