SCIENCE FICTION/DRAMA. Tired of living on earth, Maya Avedon boards a space transport that will take her to the planet Alpha. Maya no longer wants to live with humans, who she describes as, “A bunch of rats, trapped in a sewer, hoping to someday see the sun.” But her comments rub the transport controller, Todd Henry, the wrong way. He’s an all-American good-ol’-boy who doesn’t take kindly to those who criticize earth…or humans: “With such beauty right here, why would we ever want to leave the earth?” Soon, their seemingly innocent small talk escalates into an all-out battle. Only one will survive. And for the other...this will be the last transport.
