The story follows two astronauts, Jay Hayling and Red Brewer, as
they conduct experiments on a seemingly lifeless asteroid, 57GM, which exhibits bizarre behavior that defies known physical laws. While investigating strange fluctuations in mass and the malfunctioning of their laboratory scales, they encounter a mysterious female figure, referred to as the "minus woman." As they unravel the enigma of their surroundings, they discover that their realities are intertwined with a negative dimension, leading to a dramatic climax that culminates in the transformation and demise of one of the characters.
