Posted on the new Vulcan homeworld with his newly discovered son in tow, Jim must learn to build a new sort of life.  It’s too hot and too bright, but with old Spock for a babysitter and Bones for good company, everything seems to be coming together.  But when a mysterious plague threatens the colony, he’ll have to work with the Spock from his own universe before it’s too late.  Sometime between their shop-talk in the lab and sunny afternoons in the park, a hope springs that together they’ll find more than they lose.  Follows movie canon through the confrontation at Earth.
