A young boy is born with a curse, the ability to freeze objects in space. When he realizes his power can save his home from the scourge of imps that attack each night, he becomes a savior overnight. Worshipped as a living god, our hero learns that his power breeds jealously, fear, and an unknown future for his people.

Trapped within an expanding space armed with only a broken chunk of jagged marble, a mysterious stranger strives for purpose.
