Charles Dorian, at the age of twenty-five, holds the distinguished position of the youngest captain assigned to the unique spacecraft known as the Star Splitter. His mission is critical: to separate suns that venture too close to Earth. Captain Dorian is wholly committed to his ship and crew, having formally pledged to dedicate his life to them, even to the point of sacrificing his own existence aboard the vessel. Despite his youth, he has never engaged in romantic relationships, believing he could offer nothing beyond a life confined to the Star Splitter.

Five years pass, and Jessie, now twenty-three, feels invisible to Captain Dorian, who has seemingly overlooked her presence throughout their time together. All she yearns for is his acknowledgment, a desire that culminates on a pivotal day when their eyes meet, igniting a connection that had long been dormant. However, Jessie harbors a secret that threatens to upend their lives and endanger everyone aboard the Star Splitter, setting the stage for a dramatic transformation in their intertwined fates.
