A bittersweet exploration of love, hope and the mysteries of the cosmos

Mark Williams is tired of his marriage and tired of his job teaching astronomy at the Hayden Planetarium in New York City

Angela Vasquez is a young single mother training to be a nurse

Norman Ketterly is fighting for his life in a cancer ward

Their intertwining stories unspool under a canopy of stars too vast to imagine and too beautiful to comprehend

Especially when the travails of life on Earth threaten to blot it out
