[1][2] It is 2022, and Niko is a young arrogant fighter pilot who gets the opportunity of a lifetime: to go into outer space in a Russian capsule for 24 hours, as part of a private experiment on human cryopreservation.

He is madly in love with Marta, who is equally pursued by Niko's best friend, Bogdan.

Shortly after being launched into orbit, Niko begins to hallucinate and accidentally sets the capsule timer for thirty years, immediately going into sub-hibernation.

SkyCOMM, the Russian company that launched him into space, retrieves it and brings it back to Russia.

Marta travels to Russia to bring Niko, who hasn't aged, back home, but is prevented from doing so by the Russians.
