The Anti Higgs Drive

Earth, having ejected billions of its poor and powerless into space for employment in the asteroid mining industry has become a pseudo utopia as a result. Revolution and revolt are tempered by humanity's reliance upon the earth controlled partial Dyson Sphere for its energy.
Aboard a small rickety retrofitted cargo ship, a mining crew attempts to extend the liberty afforded to them by their independent yet treacherous existence. One member of the crew, a genius by any measurement, is desperately seeking to unshackle the solar system from earth's control unbeknownst to his shipmates. Driven by a horrific past and a consuming desire to right his own wrongs, the genius places the totality of his hope in a radically inventive and law of nature bending propulsion system. Now he must navigate the incalculable risks of space travel, human greed and his own vendettas.
