Two worlds collide. One Neanderthal’s journey could reshape humanity.

During a daring experiment deep in a Canadian mine, Neanderthal physicist Ponter Boddit accidentally crosses into our universe. Wounded and confused, he becomes a captive—studied as a relic, but slowly recognized as a scientist. Befriended by a compassionate geneticist, Mary Vaughan, Ponter finds hope in their bond, even as he grapples with the alien strangeness of modern humanity.

Back in his world, Ponter’s partner, Adikor Huld, faces suspicion and a murder trial after Ponter’s mysterious disappearance. With time running out, both must navigate danger and distrust to restore the balance between their universes.

As humans and Neanderthals struggle with conflict and connection, their contact sparks profound questions about survival, identity, and the possibilities of shared growth—or destruction.
