The Earth is in an uninhabitable state, following the devastating impact of 2079 that left it uninhabitable. Fast forward hundreds of years, Ava Amherst desires a fresh start away from Earth after her husband's sudden passing, seeking peace on the Orionis space station. However, life proves more challenging than expected, with unfriendly people, isolation, and unexpectedly high food costs. Struggling with hunger, Ava nearly collapses on her way home from work when she receives help from the handsome starship captain Wesley Robinson and his crewmate Naomi, who come to her aid. Despite the mysterious electric shock she experiences, Ava is focused on forming new connections. Her excitement blinds her to subtle hints that Wesley and Naomi may not be mere humans. Wesley's starship offers Ava freedom, travel, and thrilling encounters, including a harrowing space siege escape leading to an emergency stop at an abandoned prototype station for repairs. As Ava notices gaps in her memory and unexplained healing, suspicions arise about her friends' true identities, pushing her to confront Wesley for answers. Unbeknownst to Ava, Wesley and his crew face their adversaries and hidden motives that unknowingly involve her. With time running out, they must act swiftly to ensure Ava's safety before it's too late.
