Elizah (Liz) Goeff was born into a world much like the one we know today, but she doesn't remember it. It's all gone now, covered in ash after a series of natural disasters threw North American civilization into a death spiral. Now Liz's world is the Green Grow 3, a lush space farm orbiting Earth designed to feed humanity until the planet can heal itself.

The space farm was a brilliant plan that might have worked, if not for the terrorist group that calls itself the New Generation. They are intent on destroying the Green Grow dream, and Liz is intent on destroying them. They took everything that mattered to her - her home, her mother, and her older brother Jackson who has been missing for years. She won't let them take the Green Grow 3 as well.

Cut off from the Green Grow Executive Council and abandoned by their former Captain, Liz will do anything to help her friend and now-Captain, Seth, to keep the ship and its inhabitants safe. They are her people now. Or are they? As Liz fights to save the ship and humanity, she realizes that nothing is as it seems - not the New Generation, not her brother's disappearance, and not the war she assumed Green Grow was winning.

When New Generation spies are captured on the ship, they begin to reveal truths about Liz's world and her family that she struggles to accept. As her illusions unravel, this fierce young woman must decide - who should she fight for now, and to what end? And is it really possible that she alone has the power to end to the conflict that has defined her entire life?
