Stranded Among the Stars

For four long years, a teenager has traveled the stars aboard a deep-space vessel alongside their parents, esteemed scientists obsessed with uncovering intelligent life far from Earth. While their parents are consumed by their unyielding mission, the teenager dreams of Earth’s warmth: friends, laughter, and a sense of normalcy long forgotten.

That dream is shattered when an unforeseen meteor shower devastates their ship, leaving them separated from their family and marooned on an untamed alien planet. Surrounded by unyielding forests, surging rivers, and a sky that never seems to rest, survival becomes an unrelenting challenge.

As they navigate this treacherous world, their resourcefulness and courage are tested like never before. Along the way, an enigmatic force hidden in the planet's unexplored depths offers revelations not just about their parents' quest but about the teenager's role in humanity's place in the universe. Now, survival is no longer enough; finding their family and embracing a destiny far beyond what they ever imagined is the only way forward.
