Curious about the world above, she ventures into a forbidden area and tumbles into the open air, only to find herself falling upward toward the sky. She is rescued by a boy from a surface world where gravity is reversed. Together, they form an unlikely bond and embark on a journey to uncover the secret that split their worlds apart and threatens both societies.
