- FELICITY
Coming of age is hard enough, but it's especially difficult when the air is barely breathable, water is scarce, and the people with the money to fix things are heading off to live in luxury on Mars. Will and June deal with the collision of innocence and despair as they wait to watch the Felicity Rocket launch billionaires into space, and try to figure out how to find something worth caring about...even if it's just each other.
