Description: A worn-down nuclear physicist from Scotland is tapped by a brilliant lab expert at CERN to work for a week on a project for a hundred thousand pounds. Being intrigued, and ready for a change, Robert Strong flies to Geneva's Large Hadron Collider and begins working on the experiment. He quickly finds that everything he once understood about reality and science, about the boundary between life and death, has changed forever.
