Peter Kraemer, ein Physiklehrer und Hobbyastronom, macht eine Entdeckung, die er selbst kaum glauben kann: Sterne verschwinden von einem Tag auf den anderen, ohne dass irgendetwas von ihnen übrig bliebe. Er hat Glück: die Forscherin, die er kontaktiert, nimmt ihn ernst. Sie findet in jedem einzelnen Fall eine beruhigende, logische Erklärung. Dass es sich nur um Sterne handelt, die der Sonne ähneln, und dass sich der geheimnisvolle Prozess unserem Heimatsystem zu nähern scheint, spielt deshalb keine Rolle.
