Synopsis/Details
In the aftermath of Earth's downfall, humanity's last hope rests aboard a dying spaceship adrift in deep space. Commander Renan Emerson, once a brilliant NASA recruit, now shoulders the impossible burden of preserving 25,000 lives in cryogenic sleep. Haunted by the family he left behind and the catastrophic secret that doomed Earth, Renan battles isolation, guilt, and fading hope.
To survive the endless loneliness, he escapes into a virtual simulation—a reconstructed memory of a life he can never return to. There, he relives moments with his wife and son, convincing himself that his sacrifices were worth it. But when a meteoroid storm cripples the ship, Renan is violently ripped from the comfort of the simulation and forced back into brutal reality.
With failing systems, mounting casualties, and a dangerous new anomaly lurking beyond the ship—a phenomenon that manipulates memory and time itself—Renan must confront his past choices. As strange rifts in space begin pulling his memories into living, breathing visions, he teeters between salvation and madness.
Renan’s only ally is Silas, a blunt but loyal AI co-pilot who struggles to keep him tethered to his mission. Together, they discover that their best chance of survival lies in confronting not just the physical threats of space, but the emotional wreckage Renan has long buried.
As Renan races against time to repair the ship, protect the surviving passengers, and resist the lure of a false, idealized past, he realizes that a "new future" is not just about finding another Earth—it’s about finding the strength to live with the truth, no matter how painful it is.
New Future is a deeply emotional science fiction drama about love, loss, resilience, and the desperate human need to believe in something more—no matter how broken the world becomes.
