Description

What if love could grow across dimensions? An interstellar romance in the spirit of Romeo and Juliet.

The dawn of a new era for humanity has arrived. First contact has been made with an advanced alien species known as the Eo’Tarx, and the two civilizations begin the path toward understanding. CIA linguist Danko Orton is dispatched, tasked with studying communication with the Eo’Tarx alongside his alien counterpart No’mi. Their work is quickly disrupted when it becomes clear that the two are attracted to one another. Will No’mi and Danko’s blossoming love compromise everything they’ve been working to build between their species?
