Forsaking Home

Edin is a young man who yearns to break free of Earth’s overbearing regulation and provide a better life for his family. In the year 2110 he struggles to convince his pregnant wife to spend their life-savings on tickets to join Earth’s first off-planet colony. After she tells him off, he shoots himself in the foot with his impulsiveness and discovers that injustice runs deeper than he imagined. Following a string of tragic losses, Edin must choose between pursuing freedom or moving back home. Little does Edin know, plans have been set in motion, and soon, the colony’s launch party is tragically interrupted by a politically motivated assassination. The assassin, who spent much of her young life alone on the streets of Brazil, accepts a contract from an unknown and powerful entity. She fights her conscience while navigating a treacherous path toward the completion of her contract. Her decisions will forever alter the fate of Earth’s first colony and maybe even offer her a path to redemption.
