Storyline
Instant, worldwide travel is now commonplace through portal-like doors called “links".

In the end, Sho must confront his father’s radical ambitions to rebalance the scales of power and reshape the world’s borders.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | SHO | Male 20 - 35 Years old |
Description 20 to 35 years old; Asian; Male. Math Prodigy. Sho is a twenty-something half-Japanese artist working out of his studio in the San Francisco Bay Area. His adoption of his mother’s maiden name and rejection of a career in the sciences, despite a prodigious mathematical ability and formal education in the field, is a clear repudiation of his father’s legacy. And yet he harbours a deep-seated desire for his father's approval and to repair the frayed relationship, though he would never admit it. Sho is handsome and likeable, if not a bit direct, showing resilience and depth in difficult situations that add layers to his charismatic demeanor. He thinks of himself as a practical decision-maker but in actuality he’s guided by emotion, for better or for worse. | ||

Her intelligence and tenacity make her a formidable agent. Although she missteps from time to time, she may be the true hero of this story. | ||
