Roy Court faces an impossible mission. He and his crew will be copied and sent to distant star systems, each duplicate searching for planets that could sustain human life. The technology offers humanity countless futures among the stars. For Roy, though, the endless copies cannot change what happened before he left Earth. His broken relationship follows him across every version of himself, no matter how far the duplicates travel. Each Roy carries the same memories, the same regret, the same longing for what cannot be undone. As the crews spread through space, Roy discovers that even in a universe filled with infinite possibilities, some wounds transcend distance and duplication. The vastness of space becomes a mirror for the vastness of loss, but also for something Roy had not expected to find again.
