Two storylines eventually converge together as the world rotates quietly in the background.

It has been three weeks and no communication from Earth. They still have a ten month journey ahead of them to get home, but what we be there when they return?

There are two stories that converge. One line follows a group of astronauts who have been away from earth for two years. The other storyline follows A scientist who has been left by his own choice in the Arctic when there is something going on in the world. All communications stop from earth. So what happened and what do the space survivors do? A sense of quiet desolation is created and the story unfolds with cinematic imagination.
