The destruction of the starship Vesper leaves Commander Dom Nakobi and Ensign Cosima Platt lost in the Gold Pass System and without a way to get home. Finding a space station in the middle of nowhere seems to be the answer to their prayers, at least until they discover that it's abandoned and directly in the path of an incoming ion storm.
With mere hours before the storm hits, Dom and Cosima race against the clock to find a way off the station. And if they only have so little time left to live anyway, what's the harm in finding other ways to pass it?
