The first city on the Moon is called Artemis. There's not much population there compared to the largest cities on  Earth. There, the inhabitants live inside three huge bubbles. The Oxygen is supplied by a company that gets it form alumina (Aluminium  trioxide) as by-product of the obtention of aluminium

Living in Artemis is expensive but affordable. There Jazz Bashara strives to survive by delivering small  packets and  low scale smuggling-

Her boring and monotonous existence is disturbed by an offer, She is offered one million slugs (Artemis' currency) for sabotaging Sanchez's rovers that collects alumnia on the surface of the moon. After some time considerating the offer she decides to accept it.

Soon, she realises that crime is not as easy as it looks. It's got downsides. And not only by  the Police. Things get  worse when Sanchez's hitmen are after her.
