Logline

A compelling vision of the future set to impressive imagery, acting, and set design.

In the not-too-distant future, Earth has become uninhabitable. Members of the ruling elite have fled and colonized the planet Kepler 209, but have found that the atmosphere is making them infertile. A small group is to leave the planet and determine whether life on Earth is possible again. The Ulysses II sets out on its mission, but the capsule loses control when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere. Astronaut Blake is the only one to survive the landing, but she discovers that she’s not alone on Earth. A fight for survival begins. Blake must choose a side and make decisions that will determine the fate of all mankind.
