Captain Tarik Connar is on his way with a crew of 27 to supply Mars with supplies in the year 2023. Due to a series of malfunctions and short circuits, the freighter is thrown off course. It flies toward the space-time curvature of a black hole and is transferred in a fraction of a second across 585 light-years to a solar system near Betelgeuse. The crew reaches the planet with their last strength and they discover an ancient but still active alien technology there.
