In a world where everyone was either a Lighter (someone who had ignited a flame/ability) or an Asher (Someone who failed to ignite a flame and their fuel was reduced to ash), Christopher was neither. His fuel (biological energy) never reached the minimum temperature required for ignition.

At the age of twenty-nine, he was divorced, stuck in a dead-end job, and had no interest in igniting a flame. He was tired of hopes and ambitions.
Just when he thought his life would not get any worse, he ignited. His ability opened a space-time doorway, leading him to an unknown desolate planet where nothing but death waited for him.

This is his story as he shuffles life on two planets – unable to die on one, and dying every day on the other in hopes of stability, peace, and love.
