In a distant future, where humanity has established colonies on celestial bodies across the galaxy, meet Alex, a young transgender man, age 21. Alex's journey to self-discovery amidst the stars is at the heart of this epic tale.
Alex has always found solace and peace while gazing at the stars, a practice that helps him manage his anxiety and overcome the shadows of past depression. The cosmos isn't just a backdrop for him; it's a canvas of endless possibilities where he seeks answers to profound questions about his sense of self.
Alex's dream of becoming an astronaut and exploring the Moon isn't just about science but also about breaking barriers and stereotypes. His fascination with space and his journey of self-acceptance converge when he's selected for a groundbreaking mission to a newly discovered exoplanet. This planet holds the potential to change humanity's understanding of the universe and, for Alex, an opportunity to be his authentic self in a world that often feels alien.
As he embarks on this cosmic odyssey alongside a diverse crew of scientists, explorers, and fellow adventurers, Alex grapples with not only the mysteries of the universe but also his own identity. The exoplanet's secrets mirror his own, and the two journeys become intertwined. His passion for space is a reflection of his inner journey, and the exoplanet becomes a symbol of the endless possibilities that await those who dare to be true to themselves.
