As she tells a story about her love for the predictability and asteroids, some calmly drifting asteroids collide in chain-reaction fashion.

These problems are in addition to the normal issues people deal with such as loneliness, infidelity and drug addiction.

The irritable and stiff Captain Glenn is causing her to become confused and demoralized. He also has his secrets. Ted, a single, married crewman and his 7-year-old daughter Sunshine, are what she finds attractive. Ted longs for a reunion with Misty his miserable, severely medicated wife. But she is too busy to reply and driving him away. Sunshine, his daughter, struggles with the isolation and mental illness of her mother.
