Plot: The film begins with a woman who begins to awaken in a strange room. It's confusing and there's a lot of confusion around it and it does not remember anything about what happened. Also it has the fairly torn overalls. He begins to move slowly and looking out into the portholes and sees the planet Earth in the distance and remains entranced by the vision and understands that he is an astronaut. She sees an image of herself on a desk and understands that her name is Alexandra Osham (Margot Robbie). Looking outside, however, realizes that the space station in which it is located is quite destroyed and there are many debris that whirl in space and sometimes hears a robotic voice that says that the oxygen recharge is malfunctioning and there is loss of oxygen. Alexandra he begins to explore and at a certain point he hears the voice of a woman trying to get in touch with her and the rest of the crew but there is no way to answer. He understands that he is not alone and continues his exploration in the destroyed environment. He finds another personal abode of another astronaut, Sebastian Olivier (Liev Schreiber), but there is nobody inside. Just after he finds a recording of another member, Andrew Mcdonagh (Rupert Friend). Alexandra has a flashback in which Andrew says the mission was going longer than expected and that she wanted to go home to her family. Then it will be discovered that three days before the accident he would have returned home.

Then he continues to find from the recordings, e-mails and continues to have flashbacks and, it turns out that the scientist Elizabeth Hudson (Natalie Martinez), Alexandra's childhood friend and often critical of his choices, spent the shifts of rest doping and by involving in an erotic relationship with dangerous implications the medical officer Liam Edwards (Jack Huston), who for his part had concealed from Alexandrea to have a past as an alcoholic, of which he was far from liberated, with withdrawal abilities that they continued to persecute him. Teresa Lopez (Katherine Waterston), an astronaut who was enthusiastic about her work, died as she dreamed of going to space, Sebastian Olivier, a veteran astronaut who had already taken part in important missions and was now suffering from cancer, but according to the latest analysis he was healing. She then discovers that she, Alexandra, was the commander of the mission. On the Northstar IV station, in view of the Moon II lunar colony, Alexandra was working, under the auspices of Hardiman Aerospace, of the SPIRITUS project, whose goal was to be able to efficiently produce oxygen, and subsequently food, in space, through the life cycle of plants, of which the station is full, using hydroponic cultivation. But Alex had forced the extraction process, and an electric overload had already caused, before the actual accident, the breaking of the tanks for irrigation of plants. Alexandra is upset by this but manages with the force of despair to start a spacecraft and head towards the Earth. Once arrived on Earth there will be a media pillory against her without anyone defending it, not even her superiors.

Finally, after a few years, we find Alexandra in a small country house, with a mess and lots of open liquor bottles.
