A man spends years alone on a space station orbiting Earth after losing communication with Houston/Earth. He spends time on maintenance, exercise, watching old messages, and reading a journal by a soldier in the American Civil War.

After losing contact with Earth, Astronaut Lee Miller becomes stranded in orbit alone aboard the abandoned International Space Station. As the life-support systems dwindle, Lee battles to maintain his sanity as he alternates between performing repairs and reading the 1864 journal of American Civil War soldier Captain Briggs. He faces a slow, claustrophobic and lonely death until he discovers the mysterious object found by Briggs aboard the ship.—William Eubank
