Tombstone engraver George Paxton signs a complicity agreement to purchase a golden space suit that will protect his daughter from nuclear war, unwittingly becoming one of the last survivors of an apocalypse. Put on trial by the ghosts of the unborn — future generations who will never exist — George and other survivors must answer for humanity's role in its own destruction.
