Severin Unck rebels against her famous director father's Gothic romances, making daring space documentaries instead. In an alternate 1986, she travels to Neptune's levitator cults and the lawless saloons of Mars. But her latest film, investigating a vanished diving colony on Venus, will be her last. Though her crew returns, Severin never will - her story preserved by the colony's lone survivor.
