A thrill seeking young couple named BOB and JOAN crash land and find themselves marooned on a remote desert planet. The scarce resources of the planet offer them little more than the prospects of a slow and lingering death. After two years of isolation and deprivation, their situation seems to take a turn for the better when a deep space trucker named BERT and his little dog JACK land to make some minor repairs. Three actors, one small dog, low-ish budget, minimal FX and a location that looks remarkably like the area in and around the Salton Sea in California.
