The story so far
Everything you need before watchingRain eases over a New Mexico ranch. Frank tells his brother he is marrying Jackie, a waitress, and joining the Communist Party. Oppie says congratulations, then cannot hide the flinch. They fight like siblings: caution versus the right to make a mistake. Later, under stars you cannot see, Oppie admits a childhood wish: if physics and this desert could be one life, it would be perfect. The mesa they will climb tomorrow already has a name. Los Alamos.
