Synopsis

On the world of Land, humanity faces extinction from the ptertha, deadly airborne creatures waging biological war against all people. In desperation, the inhabitants devise an audacious plan to migrate by hot-air balloon to Overland, their twin planet that shares the same atmosphere just thousands of kilometers away, in a harrowing journey through the sky between two worlds.
