Synopsis
When Captain Cirocco Jones leads the first crewed mission to Saturn, her crew discovers that one of the gas giant's moons is actually an enormous living entity, a hollow world inhabited by strange and wonderful creatures. Stranded inside this godlike being named Gaea, the crew must navigate a bizarre landscape of titanic proportions while confronting both alien wonders and their own fractured loyalties.
