Synopsis
In the era of peace established by the Interstellar Alliance, the renowned Cosmo Academy was founded. Known for producing highly successful graduates, its entrance exams, held every three years, attract fierce competition. Lane Tadatos, a Terran, has advanced to the final phase of these exams. Along with ten other candidates, he is sent to the Esperanza, a ship adrift in orbit. Their final challenge is to survive on the vessel for 53 days with no means of contacting the outside world, except for an emergency surrender button. However, after a headcount, the candidates discover a discrepancy: there are eleven people aboard the Esperanza, meaning one of them is an impostor.
