As though a gesture could save anyone – in this universe where even the smallest pieces are hurtling away from one another at the speed of light.
That’s all then. Or all I can say right now.
What say you?
Jess Frobisher is a botany professor at the local university. Her husband, Liam, works for a space tourism company called Spaceco, which has just become front-page news: one of their shuttles exploded shortly after lift-off, killing everyone on board.
The press descends. With the future of the company in doubt, two filmmakers approach Liam about making a documentary on the space tourism industry. Seeing this as an opportunity to save Spaceco, Liam agrees to cooperate, assembling a team for another trip into space. When he asks Jess to go, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to save her faltering marriage and her life as she knows it.
