When Abner Trendel, a fired weatherman, takes the low paying position to research the jumbled data of a Russian satellite left over from the 80s cold war era, he and his team discover that its true nature will send them on a journey into their souls and may potentially change the world. Other world powers, including his brother—a dishonest vulture capitalist--spy on their research and believe it could be the ultimate weapon. The question is when it emits a signal onto its subjects below, what, exactly is it doing to them?

Through the promptings of a secret entity, his estranged wife watches and helps without his knowledge.

Their journey sends them to Russia to find the only remaining engineer on “Project Nadezhda Prem’yera"—the satellite whose real purpose was even kept secret from the Soviet government.
