The 18-minute film opens with a clip of John F. Kennedy’s famous 1962 moon speech. We are then introduced to an isolated Ray Ashford onboard his space shuttle. Separated by his astronaut wife, who is on another mission, Ray is alerted to a circuit failure with his craft that has led to communication failures with his team. Upon repair, he receives a delayed message from his wife – who reveals her failed mission to an uninhabitable planet and her inability to leave. Ray is now faced with a heart-breaking journey of grief, whilst focusing on his own survival expedition.
