Seven years after the tragic fate of Icarus One, hope is rekindled with the launch of Icarus Two. Led by Captain Canada, the experienced crew consists of physicist Robert Kappa, head engineer Mace, and botanist Corazon—responsible for cultivating the oxygen garden vital for their survival during the journey. After a grueling 16-month trip, the spacecraft approaches the sun. However, the phenomenon known as The Dead Zone disrupts communication with Earth, leaving the team with a mere 24 hours to send final messages to their loved ones. The high tension within the crew is evident as emotions flare, particularly during a fight between Kappa and Mace, showcasing the psychological strain such a life-or-death mission entails.
