    This movie is about the perfect all-American couple: a brave, honored NASA astronaut and his beautiful wife, school-teacher. Both husband and wife were passionately in love with each other that they could sense each other even when he was floating in space and she was two hundred thousand miles away from him on earth. And in two minutes it all turned to mysterious horror as astronaut Spencer Armacost loses total consciousness, while he was on a routine space shuttle mission, returning home just barely alive and a bewildered hero.
