Episode One – The Cosmonaut
200 miles above the Earth, hurtling through the vastness of space, Cosmonaut Roza is trapped in her tiny, airless vessel. As time ticks away, the oxygen inside her spacecraft is perilously low. She knows that help is not coming. She has never been so alone.

Searching desperately to make a human connection, she hits on a 100-year old solution, but will it work? Can she send out a final message from space, and will anyone hear her?

Episode Two – Writer’s Block
Hard-boiled gumshoe Charlie sets out on a ripping adventure told across the pages of a graphic novel. With instructions to track and kill the villainous Eurydice, Charlie hurtles across the animation, punching his way through the pages and leaping across frames, but the mysterious woman is always out of reach.

As he finally closes in on his prey, Charlie is forced to question his mission. If he follows orders, will he be next? And who’s in charge round here, anyway?

Episode Three – The Only Ones
An apartment in the sky overlooks a destroyed city. All is lost. A woman with a silver gun, silhouetted in the doorway thinks she is alone, the last woman on earth. As she stalks her prey, she is drawn irresistibly into the shadows.

A shot in the dark, a stolen kiss.

As the world turns to darkness, swallowed by deadly greed, will you be the hunter or the hunted, and will you have the wisdom to know the difference?
