With parties to crash and starships to race, recent graduate Jessyn revels in his colony world's paradise of tropical beaches. But beneath his nonchalant exterior, he finds himself torn between conventional responsibilities and following his dreams. Just as he is ready to accept a prestigious job offer through a family connection, a government agent presents him with an opportunity that aligns perfectly with his true desires. The only catch? He would have to betray his family's hopes, and leave his beloved planet. While flirting with possibilities, he helps his brother's unconventional lab experiment, unaware that their collaboration will yield a potent invention. One that the galactic government will strictly condemn -- or desperately covet.
Jessyn must navigate a captivating web of science, social change, and the dangerous possibilities that lie within the recesses of the mind.
