Fifty years from now, Mars has experienced its first murder. The earth-based corporation in charge of the mining colony treats its Martian employees like indentured servants, and now their overseer is dead by unknown hands.
The Board of Directors tasks Carolina Law, the U.N. Marshal responsible for the planet's justice, with apprehending a suspect...whether or not he's guilty of murder. Unfortunately for Carolina, the Board's primary suspect is a local hero, known for destroying robots sent to replace human workers.
As tensions escalate, Carolina must choose which is more important - justice or peace.
Not unexpectedly for a series of this nature, there's a lot going on here as we get a pretty good look at more of the dynamics of this colony and what's going on there. The doc is the most frustrating yet familiar character and I rather like what Sandra brings to the table. Carolina's frustrating in her own way but there's also just that general sense that everything is so siloed in regards to the people who live there that there's no true authority respected on all sides to get things in order and to understand the stakes. It's got some potential still to be sure and I'm definitely curious to see how it unfolds, especially since the most obvious person behind the murder likely isn't the one that did it.
