When a faulty burrito is the least of his worries, orbital traffic controller Leo Gutierrez stumbles upon a corporate plot involving "Project Silver Key," an unstable Cold War gravity weapon. As the device fractures the shipyard's artificial gravity, Leo and his brilliant engineer friend Maya must crawl through the station's gritty underbelly to prevent a catastrophic unraveling. From ductwork to the command deck, they wage a desperate battle of wits and engineering, trading a gravity implosion for a deadly debris storm and forever altering their orbit in a tale of humor, heart, and high-stakes problem-solving.
