Synopsis/Details
Joe learns his new bride is diagnosed with Universal Relocation Syndrome (URS) where random people suddenly have all of their hydrogen atoms launched into space. The mysterious illness only affects a small percentage of people, and all die within two weeks after onset. There is no cure, barely any answers, and a theory that this is The Big Bang in reverse. While Joe is angry and frustrated by his inability to stop it, Emily just wants to enjoy her last days. She comes to terms with her fate and even finds some beauty in it. Sold to Loviathyn Studios, production planned for mid-2025.
