En un futuro distópico, donde el comportamiento humano finalmente ha conducido a la destrucción de la Tierra, una raza alienígena ha salvado a algunos de los que estaban dispuestos a escapar de un planeta condenado.
Mientras viven en su enorme nave nodriza y con todo lo que necesitan, un antiguo juego con raíces caribeñas se reinventa. El Nuevo Batey se convierte en su entretenimiento y surgen nuevos héroes para jugarlo.
Chilly es una de ellos. La hermana mayor de Nico destaca en este entorno de ritmo rápido e intimidante, luchando para ser vista como una jugadora tan buena como cualquier otra, y luchando por sí misma todos los días de su joven vida.
Pero, ¿cuánto tiempo podrá soportar la adulación de la multitud? ¿Cuánto tiempo podrá permanecer tan distante y fría como lo ha sido toda su vida? ¿Y cuánto tiempo podrá permanecer literalmente prisionera en una nave alienígena que promete todo, pero en realidad no ofrece nada?
A medida que la acelerada competencia de Batey continúa consumiendo su vida, es posible que Chilly se esté tropezando sin darse cuenta con las respuestas.

In a Dystopian future, where human behavior has finally brought destruction to the planet, an alien race has saved some of those who were willing to escape from a doomed Earth.
Living on their vast mother ship, with everything they need, an age old game is reinvented from a Native American sport. New Batey becomes their entertainment and new heroes emerge to play it.
Chilly is one of them. The elder sister of Nico, in this fast-paced and intimidating environment she excels, fighting to be seen as a player who is just as good as any other, just as she had fought for herself every day of her young life.
But how long can she stand the adulation from the crowds? How long can she stay as distant and hateful as she has been her whole life? And how long can she remain a virtual prisoner on an alien craft that promises everything but really delivers nothing?
As the whirlwind competition of Batey continues to consume her life, Chilly may have inadvertently stumbled across the answers.
Inspirado en Alita: Battle Angel, el juego de Quidditch de Harry Potter y los Taínos del Caribe.
Un deporte familiar, espacial y futurista, donde la familia está involucrada. Basado en un deporte nativo americano de los taínos de la República Dominicana y tecnología futurista imaginada. Mochilas propulsoras futuristas pero con botas, con saco aéreo / fútbol y una pelota antigravedad. El objetivo es anotar en el anillo / gol flotante del oponente. Necesitarás tener imaginación para adentrarte en este futuro. Porque podría suceder, ya que los humanos destruyen naturalmente la Tierra, siendo malos cuidadores de ella. Si fuéramos capaces de crear esta tecnología con la ayuda de extraterrestres benévolos. Que están aburridos en el espacio y deciden salvar a los humanos dispuestos en su enorme nave. Entonces es una posibilidad, ya que les daríamos entretenimiento con un nuevo deporte en un nuevo entorno.

It's time for an abused population to fight for their freedom.
For humans, it's just an old cardboard box with school utensils. For the pencils inside the box, it is San Vado, a city where they were forced to live under the ruling thumb of the Erasers. This dominant minority, headed by Tinta Conde, have held their power for too long.
The self-named monarch commands brutal repressive actions against anyone who is caught conspiring or breaking the law. Ardo, Artesano, and Prisma are just three of the many Pencils tired of the reigning tyranny in San Vado. But one day, the fear widespread by the cruel guards, the Markers, was no longer bigger than their wishes for rising.
Ardo's prophetic dream reveals the existence of a powerful but dangerous weapon that could end pencils' suffering. Is a sure victory that could lead Ardo, to an early end, the one alternative for pencils?
Llegó la hora de que un pueblo profanado luche por su merecida libertad.
Para los humanos, es solo una caja de cartón con útiles de escritura. Para los lápices dentro de ella, es San Vado, una ciudad en la que son obligados a vivir bajo el mandato de los Borradores. Esta minoría dominante, liderada por Tinta Conde, ya lleva demasiado tiempo en el poder.
El monarca indica brutales represiones contra quien sea capturado conspirando o rompiendo la ley. Ardo, Artesano y Prisma son apenas tres de los muchos lápices hartos de la tiranía reinante en San Vado. Hasta que un día el miedo esparcido por los crueles guardias, los Marcadores, no fue mayor que su sed de libertad.
Un sueño profético le revela a Ardo la existencia de una herramienta tan poderosa como peligrosa, capaz de ponerle fin al sufrimiento de los suyos. ¿Esa victoria segura que podría terminar con la vida de Ardo, es la única alternativa para la insurrección de los lápices?
