In 2129 no one has to work for a living.

But there is one job people would kill for: PROFESSIONAL CELEBRITY.

The girl: Susan Tervaille, 16-year-old daughter of a famous actor.

The guy: Derlock Slabilis, 16-year-old son of the most famous media lawyer on the planet.

The problem: No children of celebrities can inherit their parents' money unless they earn the rank of professional celebrity, too.

The solution: Stow away (with their friends) on a Mars-bound ship. The publicity will cement their fame and futures.

The real problem: Derlock is a sociopath.
