A much-hyped sci-fi series that involved a voyage to a new world (G889) as the Earth is becoming too polluted.
As might be expected, the spaceship crashed a few thousand miles away from its intended landing point and the survivors have to set out on a journey to New Pacifica.
Despite a promising pilot episode the series descended into formulaic crisis-of-the-week drama almost immediately.

The desertlike plain stretches forever before Devon Adair and her companions. It is rugged, desolate, quiet. Until the thunder starts...a thunder caused by a vast, violent herd of buffalo-like beasts. The reluctant colonists must fight to keep from being trampled and losing the last of their alread dwindling supplies.
And when the dust finally settles they make an amazing — and dangerous — discovery. The entrance to a massive underground city...

Devon and the colonists may finally be thwarted in their quest for New Pacifica by the very thing that brought them to G889 — nature. Before them lies a canyon of astounding proportions. Carved out of endless miles of rock, it stretches beyond the horizon in either direction. And thousands of feet below, a mighty river rages. Their only hope of reaching New Pacifica is to cross it.
Alonzo Solace knows the dangers that face the group — he has seen them in his dreams. Dreams that carry a message from the Terrians — if they attempt to cross the canyon, they will perish.
