the planet of Corvotis
A religious cult ruthlessly rules over the people
constant fighting between the " saviors" of the cult, (who most belive are leading the people to greatness and prosperity) and the rebels rage on.
23 unlikely children step out from very different family and life situations, all to join the rebels.
They belive they can help the rebels overthrow the cult...
even if they are just pawns, waiting for a suicide mission.
