Jared, a brilliant but overlooked engineer, is trying to break through the limitations of current technology to achieve faster-than-light travel using a device called the Wasser Manifold. He struggles with his work and faces mounting pressure from his wife, Becca, who wants him to return home from the space station. Jared makes a daring decision to test a radical theory that could revolutionize space travel, defying the established scientific community. This risky experiment involves pushing the Wasser Manifold to its limits and could have disastrous consequences. Along with his two colleagues, Chen and Demi, Jared faces opposition from the station's leadership and the military as they attempt to achieve the impossible. The climax of the story hinges on Jared's determination to prove his theory and his desperate hope for a reconciliation with Becca.
