Synopsis
On Neptune's moon Triton, a utopian society offers its citizens nearly unlimited freedom to reshape their bodies, genders, and lifestyles, yet Bron Helstrom remains perpetually dissatisfied. As an interplanetary war erupts between the Outer Satellites and Earth, Bron's personal failures and self-deceptions come into sharp focus.
