Shadows are pretty sweet as shade from the afternoon sun yet it is shadows that we fear while out on an evening run. We run away only to realise, they are part of us. Wherever we go, our shadow follows. Except when it's the night and we realise our cold lonely souls cannot find peace without seeing them for we all fear the unknown. [A sad/dark poetry collection] Trigger warning ⚠ mentions self harm, death and substance abuse.

A mismatched Space Command crew voyages to the exoplanet, Proxima B, to determine if it's habitable. What they discover is something much more unbelievable, something that threatens their very existence. This is a wild romp through the fascinating world of cosmology, with a dash of quantum physics, and the reason why science is broken just like people are, especially when the humans are young and foolish.
