A colonist of Mars (Seth Adams) finds himself on the red planet, alone, working an assigned job he hates, and ultimately wishing he had stayed on a doomed Earth. Not only are things not what they were supposed to be, he soon discovers that the Earth is not doomed due to an asteroid as he had been led to believe, but the "elite" had perpetrated the lie in order to send a significant portion of the population to Mars and free up more space for golf resorts and luxury spas. He finds a woman in the colonies (Gypsy Starlett) unlike any he has ever met. She is 10 years his junior and VERY well versed in the art of love making. While most of the colonists call her a "whore" or "slut", Seth finds her quite to his liking. There's only one problem: She has absolutely no intention of ever returning to Earth. Of course even if she were willing, Seth could never afford the return trip ticket. That's why he secretly hatches a plan to steal one of the government craft and take it back to the Blue planet, telling everyone there about the Martian Exodus Conspiracy.... Not that the elite will allow him to come within a million miles of Earth if they have anything to do with it.
