In the twenty -second century, the Earth receives unlimited, free energy from a source whose nature scientists cannot explain: an alien development for energy exchange with a parallel universe. But everything has its own price. The process of transferring the process of destruction of the sun - and the earth itself.
Only a few know the terrifying truth - an earthly scientist, an alien, an alien from a dying planet and a person born on the moon who intuitively feels the inevitable destruction of the sun. They know the truth and they have the key to the salvation of the Earth, but who will listen to them, who will believe them?
