Plot

In the stark and sterile environment of Mars, a curious system of child-rearing has evolved. Female Martian infants are nurtured by emotionless robots, while their male counterparts are relegated to a desolate junkyard under the unwavering rule of the iron-hearted Supervisor. This alien society, in their relentless pursuit of efficiency, has turned its gaze upon Earth, seeing in the tender bond between young Milo and his devoted mother, the perfect model for instructing their robotic caregivers. Milo, a boy with a heart as fiery as his hair, navigates the turbulent waters of childhood under the loving yet firm guidance of his mother. Their relationship, though occasionally fraught with the usual frictions of familial love, is a testament to the enduring power of a mother's devotion. One fated night, after a heated exchange, Milo's world is turned upside down as otherworldly invaders whisk his mother away to the red dunes of Mars. Undeterred by the daunting prospect of interplanetary rescue, Milo stows away aboard the Martian spaceship, determined to reclaim his abducted mother. On Mars, he encounters Gribble, a man-child lost in time, and Ki, a free-spirited Martian defying her society's norms. Alongside Gribble's comrade Wingnut, this motley crew embarks on a daring mission to save Milo's mother. However, their path is beset with obstacles, not least of which is the formidable Supervisor, who is bent on preventing Milo's mission. In this galactic adventure that explores the depths of maternal love and the resilience of the human spirit, Milo and his unlikely allies must outwit, outplay, and outlast the Martian regime to bring his mother back to Earth. The red planet has never seen a battle quite like this. Mars, it seems, truly needs moms.
