In the near future, humanity's last hope lies in a mission to a distant planet. Hundreds of mass-produced pods are launched in a statistical scattershot, each carrying a minimal crew of four. Their bodies are kept perpetually young to physically endure; their memories continually erased to mentally survive.
As the lead engineer faces daunting technical challenges, they tumble through psychological and philosophical rabbit holes. Will they make it?
