LOGLINE

 

A gifted astronaut-musician stranded on humanity’s first extrasolar colony must use music as a new form of communication after a stellar storm cuts her off from Earth—and from the family waiting for her return.

 

It’s set about 70 years in the future. Humanity has developed near-light-speed travel with cryosleep, and Vela is stationed on a remote colony around Proxima Centauri b. Communication already takes years—so when a stellar flare cuts it off completely, she’s truly alone.”

“After a solar flare destroys all communication between an orbital station and a planetary colony, a stranded astronaut discovers that musical tones can penetrate the interference—allowing her to reconnect with the family she can see, but cannot reach.”
