Under Story

Chloe Benjamin

After the death of their son Silas, mycologist Laurel Salter and physicist Eli Rosen fracture — she flees to Antarctica to wash dishes at McMurdo Station while he chases a strange light in the ice called the Arc. When the Arc proves to be a portal to the Duoverse, where time runs backward, Laurel and Eli step through hoping to undo tragedy. They take the places of their younger selves, age in reverse toward birth, and wait for Silas to be born again — asking how far love will go for one more tomorrow, and what it costs the planet they leave behind.

“We wake up to tomorrow, never yesterday.”
