After many years in space, Jonathan receives the message he's been dreading: his father has taken a fall. He can no longer live by himself and Jonathan's cousin has managed to get him into a care home.
Jonathan is an only child, he is no longer in contact with his mother, and a deep sense of guilt forces him to return to Earth to look after his father's wellbeing.
Except his father has a secret. He's in poor health and rather confused, so Jonathan finds it hard to get to the bottom of it.
It's not like he has a lot of time, since he has to look for a job, a task which is proving surprisingly hard. P
No one wants scientists, especially not if they've worked in space. But his father's secret shows how important it is to keep the work going. Not that governments will listen.
