A man with a mysterious past arrives on the beautiful, tranquil Ascension Island. The world is in crisis being ravaged by a Pandemic while on the brink of a global nuclear war. Will Ascension Island, steeped in British naval and space-race history and with one of the longest aircraft runways in the world, might provide him with a safe refuge? As he adapts to island life, explores its beauty, and begins to make it his home, the only thing he lacks is the company of a woman. The woman in question has troubles of her own, past and present to work through but takes solace in the richness of the island. Yet will the island itself, remote, in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean escape the world and the storms it might bring?
