When a world war event occurs on Earth, America and Russia find themselves on opposing sides. As such, both nations secretly contact their astronauts aboard the ISS and give them instructions to “take control of the station by any means necessary.” The six astronauts must each secretly choose between their friendships with each other and their allegiance to their country.
On Liz’s first day on the International Space Station a war between The United States and Russia breaks out, leading to a battle between the two American and Russian factions on board for control of the station.
A jaded scientist's first day on the International Space Station turns into a mad scramble as nuclear war breaks out on the planet below, and the Russian and American members of the crew fight to take control of the space station.
When American and Russian astronauts share a space station, their loyalties to each other and their countries are put to the test when war breaks out down on Earth.
