Don Ward, 21, is a mathematician who, while searching for a higher level of infinity, loses touch with the finite--the real world. Paralleling his search is his infinite but tragic love for his dying wife, Deborah. She is 42 years old and his former high school literature teacher.

Don and Deborah find that their initially separate worlds are really the same. Because they have been able to decode the symbols, of their worlds, they find and become each other. Deborah shows and "teaches" Don the paradox of love; that to be whole it must be shared.
She, not the mathematician, determines why love cannot be measured.

Other characters include two of Don's college age male friends. Lifelong friends and teammates, they accept his eccentricities but cannot believe he “going to marry a teacher.” Deborah’s lively friend, Gwen, feels Deborah is making a mistake and doesn’t understand the difference between the love found in literature and that of the real world. Don’s grandfather is a source of strength and wisdom for Don. These relationships enable the characters to grow as they experience levels of life, death and beyond.

The ideas and emotions of ONTO INFINITY are universal.
