Synopsis/Details
JAIME PROTCHKE, a headstrong shuttle captain, is blackmailed into taking a dangerous mission to Mars in order to save her family who’ve been deliberately infected with a deadly virus. She outwits NASA and takes off with her own team. A two-man group consisting of an android (A.I.) named MICHAEL and a former college buddy, now a criminal engineer, BILLY PLUMMER. Michael works off orders from Jaime, but Billy just wants to escape his demons. When their shuttle gets knocked off course, they’re shipwrecked on a deserted planet that’s not supposed to be there. Where’d it come from? Where are they? How do they escape and return to their original mission? The clock’s ticking to help save the earth’s final survivors. Jaime must pave the way for their exodus to Mars or the human race could become extinct. She’ll just get off this desolate planet and resume her mission. But how? They soon discover the surviving pilot of the first, lost mission, JAY CARTWRIGHT, who refuses to relinquish command to Jaime. Sparks fly while they tackle the planet’s many mysteries in hopes of locating the first wrecked shuttle and fixing it. Jaime’s determined to complete the mission! But first she’ll have to overcome the world’s sand storms, undead and metallic sharks, leftover from an ancient, lost civilization that once thrived on the planet.
