Ana is amazed to learn that her ancestors were inventors of an incredible technology that gave them the power to eliminate uncertainty. Ana needs to know why her family has fiercely kept this potential boon to humanity hidden from the public for generations, and if the answer to that question has something to do with her missing father.
