When John can't resist his curiosity, he turns his and Max's life upside down. At the same time, however, he needs the astronaut to have even the slightest chance of undoing his terrible mistake.

Every wrong decision he makes could wipe out not only Max, but also the future of the woman he loves. Are Max and John facing a real choice, or are they just pawns in a game whose rules were set before they were born?
