Welcome to Cosm Land.Calvin's life is meaningless. He's always been a lost boy, but then he takes a trip to Earth, where he finds the feeling of home. Having gone back to Mars for a visit and losing his ticket to Earth, he's stuck with no job. More lost than ever, he avoids debt collectors, drinks too much, works on a fishing boat and writes. Every day he dreams of the day he'll be able to afford a return ticket to Earth.One day, a representative from the Tinman Opus Company comes knocking, looking for a nobody writer, who has posted their work online. They've got a special job in mind for the man going by a pseudonym.

They only promise him wealth, fame and everything that goes with it.
