Izzy, a practical-minded teen who intends to become a doctor, isn't happy about her recent move from the Lower East Side across the river to Brooklyn. She feels distanced from her family, especially her increasingly incomprehensible twin brother, as well as her new neighborhood. And then she meets Tristan. Tristan is a chess prodigy who lives with his aunt and looks up to his cousin, Marcus, who has watched out for him over the years. When he and Izzy meet one fateful night, together they tumble into a story as old and unstoppable as love itself.

Tristan er 16 år, genial til skak og bor hos sin tante i Brooklyn sammen med sin fætter Marcus. Marcus er pusher. Han styrer nabolaget med hård hånd og udnytter Tristan og hans skaktalent til at vinde penge fra folk. Da Izzy og hendes pæne middelklassefamilie flytter til kvarteret, forelsker hun og Tristan sig hovedkulds i hinanden. Men deres kærlighed giver dem store problemer - ikke kun fordi de kommer fra to helt forskellige miljøer, men også fordi Marcus har udset sig Izzy som sin kommende kæreste.

There are infinite universes in which Elise never dies. Her best friend, Anna, never has to mourn her or choose between the weight of her grief and the weight of her ambition. Her cousin, Liam, never has to lose another loved one or fight to find purpose in a life that already doesn’t feel like his own. But Liam and Anna do not get to choose the universe in which they live. Across multiple worlds, their paths collide as they wrestle with what it takes to save someone else and how to face love and loss on a quantum scale.
