A remnant of the human race survives to the end of time.
The Higgs, a ship carrying 5,000 colonists in cold storage, is vaulted far into the future, with no hope of returning home. It's a catastrophe gone very, very wrong. Something totally unexpected happens as the ship is drawn closer and closer to the black hole that threatens them and has now consumed all available matter and energy. Time becomes malleable, no more than the pages of a book to peruse at leisure, flipping from scene to scene, reliving history - or the future - at a whim. It's like stepping through a curtain and finding a different world on the other side.
Or a different when.
In this new and unknown world, 10 crew become gods, 4 take on the role of shades, and the 5,000 have no choice but to worship or die. When one young man learns he's really good at navigating the curtains to the other whens, he becomes a force that can change the fate of the gods.
