Synopsis: When an astronaut is washed up on a beach on a distant planet after an unscheduled crash landing its more than a slight shock to the system. Disserted and alone on the beach he is literally devastated. Apart from the belongings kept in a pocket on his suit he has nothing. All he can do is wander and dream of getting home; until he stumbles upon by an inhabitant of his new home. In a moment of panic the astronaut strikes out at the stranger. Killing it with its own gun. He’s gone from a shipwrecked traveler to a murderer. Now on the run his thoughts have gone from getting home to getting away from his hunters.
