A team of astronauts ventures to the very edge of space, only to encounter a mysterious voice that forbids them from proceeding further—claiming there are barriers no living creature can cross.

A disillusioned young man escapes Earth in a cosmic spacecraft, searching for meaning on distant worlds—only to crash-land on a beautiful, mysterious planet where he encounters a woman who bears an uncanny resemblance to his fiancée back home. As Bruce Colston discovers newfound courage and purpose helping the inhabitants of this strange world, he begins to transform from the aimless failure he once was. When the time comes to return to Earth, Bruce finds himself driven by a desire to build a real life—but questions linger about whether his enchanted planet was real, or something far more extraordinary.

When rescue arrives, the line between nightmare and reality becomes impossible to untangle.

When a colossal meteorite the size of a small moon enters Earth's orbit on a collision course, Captain Simmons of the UN Patrol must intercept it and devise a desperate plan to save civilization.
