A year after the tragic loss of his wife, Gillen Rainer is struggling to find closure. Unanswered questions linger even for his thirteen-year-old daughter, Allaire, who seeks solace in a memory far beyond her recollection.

As Sputnik orbits the globe every ninety-six minutes, Gillen and his team are set to announce a surprise of their own. The Alignment—a portal connecting the earth and the moon—is ready for visitors, effectively ending the space race.

But when his daughter decides to set foot on the moon… alone, Gillen must confront his deepest fears and the true cost of his decisions. In this romantic literary drama, with the soul of sci-fi, Gillen embarks on a perilous journey that forces him to grapple with the ultimate question: Can he reclaim his future by rescuing what he’s lost?
