  • Two astronauts are on a six-year mission when disaster strikes, leaving one astronaut's family murdered.

  • The obsessed astronaut eventually murders his colleague's wife and son, leaving the astronauts stuck together in space, one a murderer and one falsely accused.
  • The episode follows three people in an impossible situation leading to a tragic end and is driven more by empathy than metaphor.
  • The story is set in an alternate 1969 and focuses on the grounded performances of the actors over clearly metaphorical themes found in other Black Mirror episodes.
