FLIT is the true story of the Instantaneous Transport Portal, believed to have been discovered many years ago by forgotten NASA scientists and suppressed by the government. The ITP was deemed too disruptive to the status quo because it offered instant transport of people between any location, making every form of physical transport obsolete and eliminating all the ancillary services supporting it across the entire world. But the invention eventually gets out and this is the story of what happens when the concept of a locale becomes meaningless, and how the machine shatters the world economy and people's lives in completely unforeseen ways.
