The story of one ordinary man shot into space with the most precious of cargos.  One last Hail Mary for the human race.  This is a screenplay about hope, and the human spirit.  It is a study of long solitude and hoe humans do when found alone and left to their own devices. This is no doubt a Sy Fy journey of epic proportions but it is so much more as well. A charter study of one simple man and why he has a greed to take on a mission he knows nothing about really and one most certainly doomed for failure.  Will the human spirit prevail?
