Description: In 2057, the Sun is dying, and Earth is freezing. A team of eight international astronauts embarks on a mission aboard the spaceship *Icarus II*, carrying a massive stellar bomb designed to reignite the Sun and save humanity. As they pass Mercury, they detect the distress signal from *Icarus I*, the first ship sent on a similar mission that vanished seven years earlier. Physicist Capa convinces Captain Kaneda to alter their course and retrieve *Icarus I*, believing two payloads increase their chances of success. However, ship engineer Mace opposes the decision, deeming it too risky.
During the maneuver, navigator Trey fails to realign the ship’s shields, causing severe damage to four panels. Without repairs, the ship faces destruction. Kaneda and Capa undertake a perilous spacewalk to fix the shields, assisted by pilot Cassie. While they manage to protect the ship, reflected sunlight destroys the oxygen garden and reserves, leaving botanist Corazon devastated. Kaneda sacrifices himself to complete the repairs, while Trey, unable to cope with the loss, is sedated and falls into a vegetative state.
Upon docking with *Icarus I*, Capa, Searle, Mace, and Captain Harvey explore the derelict vessel, only to discover its mainframe sabotaged, rendering its bomb unusable. Their mission grows increasingly desperate as they face dwindling resources and mounting challenges.
