Sevi, a burned-out music teacher, is desperate for connection and finds it in a rekindled love affair. Ramona, a computer programmer, is determined to build an AI to prevent human self-destruction but begins to question her motives. Eason, a cello prodigy, is struggling with the closure of his high school and is forced to confront his past.

Soto challenges the traditional narrative of alien invasion and offers a more nuanced and complex portrayal of the human experience. The novel also looks to the past for a vision of the future, exploring the ways in which our actions and choices can shape our world.
