Dauntless, Captain Kathryn Janeway's indefatigable crew continue their odyssey of discovery through an enigmatic region of the Delta Quadrant, encountering a system inhabited by a species that, according to all known physical laws, should not exist.

But an unexpected shock wave crashes the shuttle carrying Torres and Seven, catapulting Voyager into a place beyond the fabric of space-time.
