In the not-so-distant future, after humanity’s centuries-old dream came true and the Solar System was successfully colonized, the starship Canterbury—delivering ice from Saturn’s rings to the Asteroid Belt—receives a distress signal from the ship Scopuli. The ship’s captain’s senior officer Jim Holden and members of his crew immediately go to help, but upon arriving, they find no living souls aboard Scopuli. What’s worse, in an unexpected way, the noble mission turns into a real race for survival… Meanwhile, on the station Ceres in the Asteroid Belt, detective Miller begins searching for a missing girl—the mystery of whose disappearance may shed light not only on her case, but on what happened aboard Scopuli.
