A speculative sci-fi drama about an ordinary woman caught between human and alien forces, where love and compassion are positioned as humanity's ultimate defense against existential threat.

Two years after the fall of the alien ship, the life of a young woman from Moscow has been changed forever. Her growing powers are now at the focus of both human and celestial investigation: an alien force takes an interest in her, and will stop short of nothing, including an invasion. Can love and compassion save humanity, when faced with a much greater and more demanding test this time?
