UNEARTH

UNEARTH plunges into a dystopian Earth in the year 2090, where climate change has unleashed a sinister legacy – a worldwide spread of arsenic that once lay frozen beneath the Earth's crust, has now rendered Earth unsustainable for life.

Meanwhile, the World Government's Department of Science unearths a groundbreaking revelation: arsenic, the very agent of mankind's near extinction, is also a component in a new groundbreaking interstellar fuel formula, which will finally enable mankind to relocate to the distant sister planet, Kepler 452-b.

As the elixir's worth surges, the government orchestrates an abrupt exodus of Earth. But only the elite and the privileged are earmarked for safe passage, leaving billions, including our intrepid northern family, teetering on the brink.
