Barney is the Captain of the space ship Gemma II, on the mission that is suppose to approve the moon as the next hot and safe tourist attraction.

Barney's secret "side mission" for NASA is also clear - to look for any signs and proof of extraterrestrial existence.

His secret side mission takes an unexpected and quite sinister turn, when Barney loses the contact with his ship. Lost on the eery moonscape, he is not looking for aliens anymore. He is now fighting to find his way back to his fellow astronauts before his oxygen runs out. And just when he thinks his predicament can't get much worse, he lands right in front of an alien space ship.

Will Barney survive a close encounter of the third kind?
