When a comet threatens to destroy the Earth, a group of scientists and their families are selected to colonize a new planet. Petra Pena has always wanted to be a storyteller like her grandmother and hopes to carry on this tradition on a new planet. However, it will take hundreds of years for them to arrive at the new planet so they must all be put in a cryogenic sleep in order to survive but not everything goes to plan during this sleep.
