A trio of outcasts are thrown together with a mission.

Save Mars.

The prisoner. Mona Lisa O'Neil has a problem. She's in prison for crimes committed against the people with her gangster boyfriend. When she turned evidence against him, he tried to have her killed. Twice.

Now he's threatening to blow up the Dipole Shield and kill 50 million people on Mars, unless they turn her over to him.

The government won't deal with terrorists, but it's one life versus all colonists on the Red Planet.

They compromise. She has 48 earth hours to reach the gangster and stop him, or she gets traded.

The guard. He's got a name everyone knows but no one knows about. The crime syndicate that runs the space stations between earth and Mars respect him. But his only job is to keep Mona Lisa safe and make sure Mars is saved. He's really good at chewing bubble gum and kicking butt...and guess who's all outta bubble gum?

The pilot. Half drunk and full-on mental. He'll do any trip for money. A smuggler's heart masked behind a lecherous smile, the only thing he loves more than his ship is his dead cat.

They have to trust each other if they want to survive and learn to work together to navigate the criminal underworld that controls the corridors in outer space that keep colonists alive on Mars.

It's only 50 million lives relying on them. No big deal.
