Synopsis

On a colonized Mars where water is scarce and survival is tenuous, a repairman named Jack Bohlen struggles with his own psychological demons while becoming entangled in a scheme involving an autistic child who may perceive time differently. As corporate interests clash with indigenous Martian ruins and mental illness blurs the boundaries of reality, the settlers must confront what it means to build a future on an alien world. Philip K. Dick weaves a haunting exploration of perception, time, and human fragility against the harsh Martian landscape.
