What to expect
Sarah has got the job of her dreams. Working with Cal, an Astronomy Professor at a remote observatory in New Zealand. Sarah loves her work, but she would rather look at stars than deal with people. Cal's an exciting person to work with - brilliant and intuitive, generous, funny. He also has an incredible capacity for work and never seems to sleep. They're busy looking at Black Holes when something strange happens - a transmission from a planet that is being destroyed. Cal is convinced it is genuine. But could this be the Holy Grail?
