    'It is that quick, it is that strong, it is that beautiful. And it is also totally impossible.' Even though she knows it's impossible, Seren longs to have the sunshine on her skin. It's something she feels she needs to stay sane. But when you're floating through space at thousands of kilometres an hour, sometimes you have to accept there are things you cannot change. Except that the arrival of Dom in her life changes everything in ways she can barely comprehend. For a while he becomes the Sun for her; and she can't help but stay in his orbit. Being with him flaunts every rule designed to keep their home in order, but to lose him would be like losing herself. In the end they must decide what is most important: loyalty to the only home they've ever known, or to each other?

    ''Wij zijn een interstellaire generatie. Wij hebben de aarde nooit gezien en wij zullen onze bestemming ook nooit bereiken.'' Seren leeft aan boord van de Ventura, een ruimteschip van de NASA. De bemanning omvat meerdere generaties en is op weg naar de dichtstbijzijnde bewoonbare planeet. Haar generatie werd aan boord geboren, heeft de aarde nooit gekend, maar zal ook de eindbestemming niet bereiken. Haar leven speelt zich af aan boord van de Ventura, en iets anders zal ze nooit kennen. Seren worstelt met de zin van het leven en vraagt zich af wat het doel is van haar bestaan. Maar als Dom in haar leven komt verandert alles. Bij hem voelt ze zich zoals ze zich nog nooit eerder heeft gevoeld; hij begrijpt haar. Hun liefde is sterk, maar ook compleet onmogelijk door de strikte regels aan boord. Uiteindelijk zullen ze moeten kiezen: trouw zijn aan aan het enige huis dat ze ooit hebben gekend of aan elkaar?
