Adding to the intrigue is a curiously timed spatial anomaly that appears to be approaching Earth from a distant point in deep space. Are the two first-of-their-kind scientific phenomena coincidentally happening at the same time? Or is there some kind of connection between Phillip's communications with the future and the approaching anomaly? When a shocking global event upends Phillip's attempts to investigate, he suddenly finds himself alone to resolve the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced.Bonus Synopsis Information:Phillip is a gay man who leads an outsider existence, marginalized not so much because of his sexual orientation, but on account of his status as an obsessive rogue scientist.
