When the CEO of a space mining company is faced with bankruptcy and radiation poisoning threatens his crew and his family, he makes a decision to hijack a company ship to get to Mars for treatment, while being pursued every step of the way by a former rival looking to reclaim the ship for himself.
A CEO of a space-mining company must abandon his mission to collect precious metals in order to get his family and crew back to Mars for medical treatment after being exposed to radiation.
