Ike Jordan dreams of gravity’s polarity. He dreams of himself upon the field of the earth, staring into the darkening sky, arms outstretched. His father’s voice whispers, “Gravity can push you into the sky as easily as pull you toward the earth.”Fully awake and inducted into his father’s work with secret gravity technology -- fantastical as it is -- Ike’s worldview, emotions, and relationships turn upside down. Caught up in his father’s secret, he can’t tell Christine Wall about his nights cruising among the stars, or tell his best friend Charlie about chasing the sun over the horizon. He can only pour his angst into the perfection of flight, flying like a lonely, dark angel over the nighttime lights of Phoenix, Arizona. Before long, he is chasing his own ego, flying so high that no one can keep up, in danger of flying too close to the sun.
