Meet Nivi, a brilliant scientist waking from cryosleep, burdened by guilt. Her selfless attempt to prevent a war by entering cold sleep was in vain, and now she finds a hostile enemy nearing a marooned Earth spaceship. Determined to reactivate the technology required for the rescue, she finds an ally in Moose, a former slave living as a robot.
Having survived the brutalities of enslavement, Moose hasn't forgotten the feelings of worthlessness it instilled in him. Presented with an opportunity to help the exceptional Nivi, he agrees to become human once more. In a new form, riddled with new challenges, he yearns for Nivi to see him as more than just the robot he used to be.
As they face a formidable enemy, Nivi and Moose must set their budding feelings aside to secure humanity's survival. But with time ticking away, can they conquer the enemy and ultimately explore a future filled with love?
