No secret stays hidden forever.
Two young surveyors travel into the desert dunes. It's been 500 hundred years since human colonists terraformed their planet. No signs of alien life have surfaced in all that time. But now a tragic accident in the sands uncovers a long-buried secret. The early settlers lied, and the future is changed forever.
