When the fate of humanity lies in the hands of an impostor. In a small observatory in the southwestern United States, stronomer Celia discovers strange goings-on during a routine survey of the LDN 63 dark cloud. Everything here seems to be happening far faster than science would have it. But no one believes her, because she has already made a supposedly groundbreaking discovery once – with the help of falsified data. Celia knows: The dark cloud is her best chance to win back her career and her life. That's why she unswervingly embarks on a journey to the end of her imagination. She must unlock the secret of the "Factory of God," no matter what the cost – but what if it goes beyond her horizons, those of science, and those of all humanity?
