Spoilers ahead
Zenon Kar is a spirited girl living with her family aboard an Earth-orbiting space station in 2049. When a reckless misstep brings her into conflict with the station’s strict Cmd. Edward Plank, Zenon earns a punishment: she must relocate to Earth to live with her Aunt Judy Kling. On Earth, the vast expanse of space feels far away, and Zenon struggles to fit in with classmates who find her space-station stories and slang odd. The schoolyard feels like a foreign country, and Zenon often feels two steps out of sync with pop culture, while her new peers sense she’s carrying a world of stories in her backpack.
