16,000 BCE: Celet, a lone alien researcher, discovers a dark truth: the primitive humans of Earth are destined to destroy their world. Defying her orders, she leaves a message of warning-and a thread of hope-for their distant descendants.
2264 CE: Earth is dying. When the first interstellar ship is sabotaged, a deep rift between humans and their AI creations is exposed. But the discovery of Celet's ancient message changes everything. Rechristened The Founder, the ship is tasked with a desperate 200-year journey to a coordinate left by the alien.
In a move of desperation, the crumbling space agency appoints Trent-a clever but inexperienced office droid-as the ship's captain. As the last remnants of humanity enter stasis, Trent must navigate deep space and a hidden threat: a sleeper saboteur determined to ensure humanity never reaches its new home.
In the void of space, the survivors must decide: who truly deserves a future, and who gets to decide?
