A fact-based science fiction romance, describing events that could happen in a few hundred years.
Josh, frustrated and unemployed, finally lands a job as an astronaut. He is very excited about the prospect of exploring outer space. He is sent to an Earth-like planet 500 light years away. The planet is millions of years younger than Earth, so it closely mimics Earth during prehistoric times.
Meanwhile, Josh's girlfriend, Laura, stays on Earth and agrees to be cryogenically frozen for 1250 years, the length of time that Josh will be gone. But Josh is one hundred years late, and Laura is woken up. She must forge a new life in the future, with no idea if Josh will ever return.
Josh eventually does return amid a swirling controversy about his actions on the other planet. Josh and Laura face this trouble together in a heart-warming conclusion.
