In the near future, a group of scientists are preparing for the first test of a groundbreaking engine, designed to bend space itself and make intergalactic travel not only possible, but instantaneous. In a world on the brink of collapse due to environmental disaster, starvation and war, their invention could be humanity's last hope. But the test leads to an unexpected and unexplained outcome - one that raises more questions than answers. Their success is short-lived when a fatal disaster halts the project and leaves the team disgraced and defunded. Determined to uncover the true nature of what they've built, the scientists turn to the criminal underground to finance the rebuild - driven to finish what they started, no matter the cost.
