Love hurts…

Astrobiologist Gilbert Fornia lost his wife to ovarian cancer twenty years ago.

Unable to get beyond his grief, for twenty lonely years his love for her grows stronger.

Then, on a mission to Europa, aboard the ISS Galilei, Gilbert sees his dead wife within a mysterious energy source emanating from the deep ocean moon.
