Callisto's End

In a near future where humanity faces extinction, a brilliant but haunted astrophysicist, Dr. Aris Thorne, races against time to implement a radical plan to save civilization. His mission leads him to confront not only the vastness of space but also his own tragic past and the ethical dilemmas of his desperate endeavor. As a mysterious cosmic phenomenon looms, he must make a choice that will determine the fate of humanity, forcing him to question the very definition of survival.
