Synopsis

To save the world from an alien invasion, humanity altered their children's genetic code-- but now they're paying the price. Earth's younger generations are dying, slowly succumbing to a terrible disease without a cure. Salvation may lie in outer space, in the DNA of humans who founded colonies before the alien attack. That is, if those settlers can be found.
