Earth is broken beyond repair. The Planet is our last hope.
Humanity's first mission to the Planet ended in tragedy, but botanist Jill Jones won't let that stop her from joining the second one.
Perfect climate, perfect terrain, perfect flora and fauna; the Planet has called to Jill all her life. She knows, with bone-deep certainty, it's home. A new beginning for humanity. She just needs a chance to prove it.
But as Jill and her team survey the Planet, a mysterious presence begins to infiltrate their thoughts.
When her colleagues start to disappear, it's up to Jill to uproot the Planet's secrets before they consume her, her friends . . .
And the one man she would do anything to keep.
