-Join Joey Strider, a curious 13-year-old boy living in the bustling city of Marsopolis in the year 3412, on a journey that will change his life forever. When he stumbles upon an ice cave that matches his science project model, Joey realizes that something strange is happening on his home planet. But what he discovers is beyond his wildest imagination.

-Hidden beneath the surface of Mars lies an ancient underground city inhabited by the native Martians, known as the Eluna. They have been living on Mars for millions of years and now, they need Joey's help. The Eluna are facing a dire threat - the Humans' water extraction machines are draining their only source of water and causing devastating earthquakes. But convincing the President of the United Mars Colonies to shut down the machines won't be easy. The humans rely on the water from the polar caps for survival, and the powerful General Rafe Draven will stop at nothing to maintain control and order.

Will they succeed in their mission, or will Mars be doomed to destruction?
