Earth has been destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred scientists and their children – among them Petra and her family – have been chosen to journey to a new planet. They are the ones who must carry on the human race.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Hundreds of years later, Petra wakes to this new planet – and the discovery that she is the only person who remembers Earth.
