Recipe: Sci-fi flicks Arrival and Contact but real gay; the happysad euphoria breakdown three minutes into Robyn’s song “Dancing on My Own”; Theoretical physics by way of Drunk History. Add a generous pour of the voice of your damaged pal who’s just trying his best to laugh through it. Pulse in blender with ice and tequila. Best served cold.

Does fate exist, and can you outrun it? And what happens when you’ve got to face the very worst version of yourself—literally?

In a near-future world, little-known filmmaker Hayes Figueiredo has a life that maybe isn’t spectacular, but it’s his own. That is until a physicist named Yusuf shows up on his doorstep and tells Hayes that he’s somehow connected to a strange device that can predict the future. And even weirder, still, a version of Hayes in an alternate universe seemingly created the machine and sent it to us.

Hayes and Yusuf travel to a secret research facility, run by the brilliant but calculating Dr. Kaori Nakamori, somewhere in the fractured former America. There, Hayes learns about the machine and how it got here, finding himself drawn to Yusuf and haunted by his alternate shadow self on the way.

But in the face of a tragedy that seemingly mirrors events that happened in the alternate universe, Hayes discovers he has a strange mental link to the device, which just might endanger the world around him. He and Yusuf go on the run, hoping to escape from an unexpected stranger and Kaori, who might want to use Hayes as a tool for her own machinations. As they tumble through a kaleidoscope of universes and collide with alternate versions of themselves, Hayes will sacrifice the world—and maybe even the whole multiverse—to keep the love that he’s finally found safe.

A FRACTURED INFINITY is a sci-fi & queer universe-hopping roadtrip about what we’re willing to do for love and if we can escape our shadows of doubt.
