Synopsis: In the paranoid Cold War world of the 1980s, as seen from 1954, the setting up by one nation of a space station revolving around the Earth would be seen as a threat by all others. In this tense context, the increasing disappearance of scientists, reported explosion of rockets and bizarre security checks start arousing the suspicion of young Daniel ("Danny") Cross. Would all this mean a secret space station was under construction, or already built in space ?
