Terraforming, the process of transforming a planet's surface to resemble Earth, has become a common practice across the Solar System. Pluto, located four billion miles from the Sun and two hundred degrees below zero, is set to undergo the most ambitious transformation yet. To provide light and heat to this frozen worldlet, humanity's finest scientists and engineers are utilizing captured asteroids and solar mirrors. However, an unexpected factor has emerged: a saboteur.

From the beginning, terraformer Lucian is drawn to nine-year-old Nou, who has remained silent since a tragic incident that caused chaos at the base and shattered her family. Lucian believes that if he can reach Nou, he may be able to understand what happened that day and uncover the secrets of Pluto.

Nou possesses unspoken knowledge that could halt the terraforming. Crippled by her fears and unable to trust her family, she has no one to confide in. It is only through Lucian's gentle friendship that Nou begins to rediscover her voice and the profound things she has to say.

Nou's knowledge could revolutionize our understanding of the Universe. The terraforming project is in jeopardy, and it is up to Lucian and Nou to uncover the saboteur's identity and prevent them from sabotaging the mission. Their journey will take them through treacherous terrain and face challenging obstacles, but their friendship and determination may be the key to saving Pluto and unlocking the mysteries of the cosmos.
