2041. India's first crewed Mars flyby comes home — and the crew's nine months are gone.

In their place, identical in all four astronauts: one vivid eleven-minute memory of a white room that was never on the ship. Flight surgeon Dr. Ishaan Varma discovers the memory isn't damage. It's a message. And it's still being written.
