MOORE DIMENSIONS
By Matthew Ruth

GENRE: Science Fiction, Comedy
LOGLINE:

A brilliant physicist unlocks the secret to traveling between universes, but when she loses the man she loves, she risks everything to find a reality where he’s still alive—discovering adventure, unexpected friendships, and the true meaning of destiny along the way.

SYNOPSIS:

Moore Dimensions begins with Dr. Violet Moore, an accomplished but somewhat reclusive physicist, on the brink of a scientific breakthrough in dimensional travel. In her high-tech lab, she and her team work on a device capable of transporting objects—and potentially people—across dimensions. Driven by her mother’s enigmatic parting words and a fascination with alternate realities, Violet’s ambitions reach beyond scientific acclaim; she dreams of discovering a universe better than her own.

Violet’s life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Luke, a charming and unassuming Yale chemist, at a conference. Their connection is instantaneous, sparking a romance that brings Violet closer to happiness than she’s ever been. Tragically, her newfound happiness is shattered when Luke dies in a sudden accident. Violet is devastated, but in her grief, she sees a glimmer of hope: if other universes exist, there might be one in which Luke is still alive.

Determined, Violet takes drastic measures, even sidestepping her lab’s protocols, and starts traveling across dimensions herself, enlisting the cautious support of her colleague Mike. Her encounters reveal strange, sometimes dystopian worlds, but also familiar faces, including her childhood friend, Casey, who appears in multiple dimensions. Each dimension brings Violet closer to understanding the multiverse, but also raises troubling questions about the nature of reality and her own identity.

As Violet deepens her search for Luke, her actions draw the attention of Captain Bence, the Department of Defense’s steely representative overseeing her project. Bence’s interest in her work becomes a threat, revealing that her research has implications for national security far beyond her control. With her life’s work at stake, Violet finds herself caught between her scientific ambition and her personal quest.

Ultimately, Violet is forced to confront the impossibility of changing her past and the potential dangers of tampering with alternate realities. Though she fails to reunite with Luke, her journey brings her a new perspective on loss, resilience, and the importance of living in the present. Returning to her universe, Violet resolves to share her discoveries responsibly, redirecting her genius toward advancing science for its own sake rather than escaping her pain.
