The Earth is dying, so Mars is being colonized by a brave
group of pioneer Reds. Darrow is one of these pioneers, mining for
Helium-6 deep under the surface of Mars. After Darrow’s wife is executed,
he is recruited by a secretive group of rebels who open his eyes to the truth:
Mars has actually been colonized for generations and Reds like Darrow are
toiling away to support the extravagant lifestyles of the Golds living on the
surface. Fueled by his rage and a sense of justice, Darrow is reformed into a
Gold and sets out to overthrow the colorful caste system from the inside.
