On a far off planet, physicist Mayra Ecazin races furiously against time to unlock the secret of light speed travel and save humanity from decimation by alien invaders. The race to get a light-speed machine made, however, proves more difficult than anticipated, leading Mayra to struggle with a severe addiction thanks to the mind-altering drug that opens up her mind to the secrets of the universe. Meanwhile, on a nearby planet, Mayra's best friend Valki fights for survival, as the mindless alien beings work their way through the System-and to Mayra. Battling greedy investors, competing agendas, and her own mortality, how much is Mayra willing to sacrifice to make her machine? And will it be enough? Find out in this RLTP world-premiere that takes a fantastical look at the infinite possibilities of the human mind and the finite potential of a flawed civilization.
