Sarah loves it at the observatory - she's a girl geek who's only really happy at work. She feels at home observing the chaos and vastness of space; ordinary human concerns just seem trivial . She'd rather look at stars than deal with people. And Cal's an exciting person to work with - brilliant and intuitive, but also generous, funny and charming. He has an incredible capacity for work; he never seems to sleep.
They're looking at Black Holes, a sort of whirlpool in space which can destroy planets . But then something strange happens. A transmission from the planet that is being destroyed. Cal is convinced it is genuine. This could be the Holy Grail.
