   Summary

   Here’s the thing.

   Grace is dying. Simon just wants to live.

   Hope is such a driving factor for each of them. But when Grace brings this convict aboard his ship, he was not expecting this man who was supposed to be a killer to be this soft. And…not this unhuman. Simon must come to terms with the idea that he might not be human any longer.

   Its the challenge of keeping one's humanity when you are the last fragment of it.

   And when you dont want to keep going.
