A heart-wrenching phone call from Andrew to his mother.

Arriving on a cruise ship as though pulled by an invisible string, senior citizen Donald discovers an apparent murder scene. While searching for answers, he finds a second body, and an emergency is declared. When it becomes clear that the murderer is not of flesh and blood, that Donald is next in line to be killed and that the ship’s captain is a ferryman carrying his passengers to the afterlife, he and the other elderly tourists decide to make a break for it.

Ari is the sole occupant of a long-haul research space vessel. Her life is a lonely routine, every day the same – down to the mood-stabiliser pill she takes each night, dispensed by the ship’s medical bay. When the pills suddenly stop, Ari’s subsequent withdrawals cause her to suspect she may not have always been alone on the ship. As her withdrawals grow more severe, past and present blur into one, and Ari is forced to confront what she has been hiding from herself.
