Synopsis
By the mid-21st century, humanity has ventured into space, with the Planet Catcher Corporation leading the charge in mining asteroids and comets for Earth's resources. On the asteroid Tortatis resides 12-year-old Nanbu Ushiwaka, a unique individual who is the only child born in space to survive infancy. However, their existence is suddenly threatened when a military satellite causes a catastrophe during a mission to capture Halley's Comet. Abandoned by both their government and the corporation, Ushiwaka and the other colonists must struggle to stay alive. Facing the imminent meltdown of the asteroid's nuclear reactor, they wonder if they can escape their fate or if they are destined to perish among the stars.
