Galactic Athletes is a network of leagues where openly gay athletes compete across 20 different events. Points are awarded based on each athlete's placement, with the top four in every league advancing to the Champions' League and the bottom four dropping into the Redemption League. In each event, the winner rises while the last-place finisher pays the price. The story follows Finn, a recent hire at the Thebes Sporting Complex, who becomes the medic for the Galactic Athletes League. While his official role is to protect the athletes' health and well-being, his job depends on a second challenge: correctly predicting who will finish first and who will come in last in all 20 events. Can Finn succeed?
