Kuvaus
The space mission is dear to both astrophysicists Eva and Gretel, the president of the country. But can Gretel bask in the reflected glory of Eva's work yet stay at arm's length from the actual details of what Eva's work entails? Will she manage to outlast the undermining of her cabinet minister Timothy and squash his ambition to take over the presidency? And, can Javier, Gretel's long-term partner and political advisor, stem the interference of Leon in his crusade against government cover-ups and injustices?
Leon struggles against the 'ends justify the means' mentality of his former colleagues, yet he feels a duty of care towards the emotionally damaged Eva. His own story is beset by many complications and entwinements, but this flawed, former mathematician is the closest to the hero of the story.
