The Show
A Queer Sci-Fi Pilot Reading
Earth is fucked. And in the face of its impending demise, a team of scientists, engineers, and explorers are embarking on a last-ditch mission to colonize a new planet.
Among them is Casey Emerson, a man who’s ready for a new life. He’s dumped his messy boyfriend, scored a major promotion, and just landed on an alien world with Earth’s best and brightest. Nothing can bring him down… until he discovers his ex has stowed away on the ship in a desperate attempt to win him back.
Now, lightyears from Earth with humanity’s future on the line, Casey must pick up the pieces—because even at warp speed, you can’t outrun yourself.
