"At a high school for the gifted on newly-cultivated Mars, a cast of teens deal with everything from finals to televangelism--and racism. Kaeldra and her boyfriend Ravi have never liked that longhaired Contact kid that lives across the hall, but they each begin to discover in different ways that Oryn--along with the other Contacts on Mars--is not what they expected."
