As his planet is dying, Marc's covert mission to save 4.5 billion lives clashes with the fate of a pristine parallel world-and his terminally ill daughter.
When initial talks with Idyllium leadership deny peaceful settlement, Earth's united government decides to invade their sister planet. Lines blur from politician to soldier and Marc must confide in the scientist and a civilian on his team to find a way to save two worlds while keeping his people from sacrificing their humanity to survive.
Mounting this immeasurable weight, the life of his little girl dangles before his moral compass, setting its needle askew. Jewel will be lucky to see a couple more birthdays-unless he can get her to Idyllium.
