Hanna works for the Perpetual Post, a galactic system that delivers items when needed. Hanna spends most of her time travelling at near light speed, so she ages slower and makes deliveries decades apart. This particular delivery, however, is unusual as it brings Hanna back to where it all began. What she discovers is the truth behind Perpetual Post, why it is making her do deliveries and why this particular delivery, or pick-up as it happens, is an important one. But it is up to Hanna to decide whether she wants to do this particular job, which may be the last one she does.
