Vera Guzman is wondering. Wondering what it's like outside her privileged neighborhood, outside the border. Kayte McBridging is away. Away from her parents, from her nightmares - but not quite sure where she's going. Darren Sterner is trying. Trying to please the Big Man, and secretly trying to reach a childhood friend. Wyn Kafuto is anxious. Anxious about all the people from Lower Class Sectors passing through his home. Grace Lim is nostalgic. Nostalgic about her past, when she was Gracie, but mostly worried about her future. Everything is changing - including the fate of New Atlantis. And as the five characters' lives collide, it becomes clear that something bigger than all of them is behind it all.... (title may be updated. we'll see how it goes.)
