Two one-act plays by Emma Carter, each set in alternate realities. Nova is struggling to survive in a dystopian society that demands excellence of all its citizens, where a person's Rank can be the difference between life and death. Carol-Ann, though given more freedoms, is clinging to what little sense of control she has as she watches friend after friend "cross over" into their new lives. Though worlds apart, both young women, wittingly or not, refuse to conform to the mold society has given them.
