Description:

Randy Waters wants very much to work in space like his uncle. He is determined to follow that path, whatever the cost. At the risk of alienating his family and against his father's wishes, he signs on to the crew of a freighter ship currently docked at the local spaceport. While en route, they discover a mysterious alien vessel. Since no one up to this time had been able to successfully prove the existence of extraterrestrial life, the temptation to explore was too much to resist. They mount an expedition to board it. However, they unwittingly bring something back on board with them which ultimately threatens the crew and forces Randy to lead the survivors to safety. After being blown out into space from the freighter, he and the only other remaining survivor are rescued by a Stellar Navy vessel, Randy must confront the thing which was ultimately responsible for his ship's destruction as well as his life's goals and current beliefs.
