Young Bryant Fisher has dreamt of joining the Academy his whole life, with just one thing standing in his way, an impossible entrance exam. Desperate to realise his dreams of Mars instead of being trapped in a nightmare on Earth. Giving up all he holds dear along the way, Bryant risks it all in search of a dream come true.
