What Is Aurora About?

The premise of Aurora without spoilers.

In the 22nd century, seven explorers journey to Aurora, Earth’s sister planet, to evaluate it for colonization. A ship failure forces a crash‑landing onto a world of scorching heat, toxic water and storms. With minimal supplies and little hope of rescue, they trek 400 miles to reclaimed caches, testing endurance as their leader risks everything.
