Patience and Jack are an outsider couple, both disillusioned with the world but determined to start a family and find happiness together. However, their fragile happiness is abruptly shattered when the pregnant Patience is murdered. From that point on, Jack dedicates his life to an obsessive search for the killer, which remains unsuccessful for a long time—until he acquires a teleporter in 2029, nearly 20 years after the crime, in an attempt to prevent the murder. The new graphic novel by Daniel Clowes is a hypnotic reading experience: a psychedelic science fiction love story and a book that tackles the big questions about life and death, family, love, revenge, and the nature of space and time.
