What if the world were different?  Instead of poverty, prosperity… instead of fears about runaway heat, pleasant temperatures and a paucity of droughts… rather than international power-struggles and one-upmanship, sharing and generosity?

‘Vee’, one year beyond her high school experience, lives in such a world.

A world with no ‘economic migrants’, and no starving refugees.  Electricity is too cheap to be metered, there are no wars, and countries trade eagerly with each other, boosting the financial security of their respective citizens.  The worldwide cancer rates are half those which we suffer under and consequently, health care systems are robust and effective.

Vee discovers that her father had a secret, but his death prevented him from divulging it to her.  She is determined to find out why he spent so much time in his observatory, and who was the secretive character named only as Mazzal?  When she discovers strange reflections in her own viewing and previously undisclosed historical information from the early 1940s, she feels increasingly uneasy.

She continues to ‘dig’, but wonders: what if she discovers things that she doesn’t like?  What will she do?  And, hanging over it all, what about those age-old problems associated with life’s unfairness?
