At first he does not realize that it could be an error, but as the hours pass and he notices that he is

alone, he decides to try to access the bridge, which is closed and can only be opened by the control
personnel . While crossing the ship looking for help, he meets Arthur (Michael Sheen) a robotic
bartender, who is surprised to see him awake.

After a year he does all kinds of activities on the ship, and with the only company of Arthur, Jim tries
to commit suicide by throwing himself into space. Before throwing himself into the space without
protection, he finds the Aurora Lane cryocabin . When he look her profile on the passenger list, she
realizes that she is a writer, causing Jim to feel affection towards her.Jim short-circuits the cryocabin
and manually awakens Aurora. Initially he lies telling him that he had been awakened by an error in
his cryocabin. Aurora, desperate for the idea of aging and dying on the ship, tries to go back into
hibernation (as Jim had tried at first) without success. At the end he accepts his situation and begins
to write a book about his experiences. Jim and Aurora begin to live in the ship and they get to know
each other, while Jim shows him everything there is to do in the ship. Soon, they have an appointment
and they end up falling in love.

After another year, Arthur reveals the truth to Aurora. Aurora was devastated; she considered his
action tantamount to murder.The two refrain from contact for some time. Soon after, another pod
failure awakens Gus Mancuso, Chief Deck Officer. The three discover multiple failures throughout the
ship's systems. If not repaired, the ship will continue to suffer critical system failures. Gus becomes ill,
his body was physically damaged by his malfunctioning pod. The Autodoc, an automated medical
diagnostics and treatment pod, shows he has only hours to live. Before dying, Gus gives Jim and Aurora
his ID badge to access crew-only areas and repair the ship.

Jim realizes that the reactor must be vented by opening the vent hatch from the ship's exterior.
Aurora assists, while admitting she is terrified of losing Jim and being left alone. Aurora, from inside
the ship, and Jim, outside, vent the reactor. Jim's tether snaps and his damaged spacesuit loses
oxygen; Aurora retrieves and resuscitates Jim in the Autodoc. He later learns that the Autodoc can
function as a makeshift hibernation pod—for one person. Aurora would never see Jim again.

Eighty-eight years later, the ship's crew awaken as scheduled, shortly before arrival on Homestead II.
They discover a small house amid lush flora and fauna in the ship's grand concourse area. Aurora's
book reveals that she chose to stay awake with Jim and continue writing her story.
