   Summary

   A strange anomaly brings two men from very different realities together, forcing them both to question and confront long held beliefs. Ryland Grace finds himself questioning what he knows about science and reality itself, while Simon finds himself questioning his upbringing and all he thought he believed about himself an what he was worthy of.

   Or, Ryland Grace and Simon experience some weird shit that they can't explain, learn that they really like each other's company, and are both haunted by their pasts.
