“UPSIDE DOWN: When your world is turned upside down, how will you adapt? It’s been three years since the Flip – the day when Earths gravity turned upside down. The ceiling is now the floor, people can’t step outside for fear of falling into the sky, everyone is left obsessing over the same questions: How did this happen? Why is it only affecting humans? And is there any way we can go back?”
