"'Gentlemen, it's time,' Dr. ---- said, eyeing the seven men in suits seated around a large conference table. They were some of the most powerful people in the country, together in the largest meeting room at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C."
The year is 2010, and the people of NASA are desperately looking for a way to acquire funding to send astronauts back to the moon and man, what was top secret up until this point, a research station built on the moon itself called DARLAH 2. The solution: garner media attention and public support by holding a contest to select 3 teenagers the opportunity of a lifetime to accompany these astronauts to the moon. However, the research team is not being entirely truthful about their true intentions for lunar habitation, and the secrets they hold may prove deadly for not just the crew, but for humanity itself.
