The 100 meets The Martian! Three kids raised in space, on a deadly mission back to Earth… Leo might be human, but he’s no Earthling. He’s never even set foot on his home planet. He was born and raised with twins Orion and Libra on the Moon 2 Space Station. They’ve had a strange and unique childhood. But they’re not kids anymore. Now it’s time for the trio to make their first trip to Earth. It’ll be their first contact – with nature, with traffic, with other people. They’ve spent their lives in orbit, spinning around this hub of life. They know all the facts about it. Except how to survive there…
