Darrow is a Red, one of the miners who toil beneath the surface of Mars as part of humanity's effort to terraform the planet to one day make it habitable for those stuck on a dying Earth. Subterranean life is simple; Darrow spends most of his days mining Helium-3, and any free time he may have with the love of his life, his wife Eo.
But Darrow and his fellow Reds have been betrayed. He discovers that humanity colonized the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wild forests spread across the planet. Darrow - and everyone he has ever known - are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class enjoying every luxury while he and the rest of his Color struggle to fend off starvation.
