Description

A routine interstellar cruise to the distant star Arcturus becomes uneasy for Silvia, who has been quietly planning to end her marriage. A sudden subspace malfunction forces the passengers to stay seated, and old arguments flare between her and her husband, George, hinting at deeper secrets.

When a stranger in a plain suit sits beside her, he immediately knows the private intention she kept hidden—her plan to obtain an Arcturan divorce. He claims to represent a faceless organization that can make the process swift, even suggesting a more permanent solution, and reveals that George is not human but an android. The offer is unsettling, leaving Silvia to weigh a dangerous bargain against the truth of her marriage.

As the ship drifts farther from Earth, the subspace drive hiccups and unseen forces loom, heightening the claustrophobic tension. Listeners are drawn into a suspenseful mystery where every decision could seal a fate among the stars.
