Naomi awakens from cold hibernation aboard an interstellar vessel, only to learn her crewmates manipulated her sleep timer. Believing she remained unconscious for an entire millennium, she discovers that her ambitious colleagues altered the pod controls to steal credit for her life's work in alien botany.
Refusing to panic in the cold silence of deep orbit, Naomi uses her software expertise to rewire the central navigational mainframe without tripping security alarms. With years left before touchdown, she must outsmart the deceptive officers, protect vital genetic specimens, and reclaim command before the conspirators silence her permanently.
