Introduction

Set in the 23rd century the play dipicts an automatic spaceship transporting emigrants from Earth to a distant colony planet. The passengers are frozen in cyogenic suspension tanks, and the vessel functions are controlled by the sentient computer system "Ship".

Early into the ten-year voyage "Ship" notices that one of the cryo-tanks has developed a fault, leaving Vic Kemmings body still in frozen suspension but his mind in a semi concious state.

Ill-equipped for such an eventuality, the hapless "Ship" has to keep Vic's mind occupied for the remaining years of the journey otherwise he will go insane.

The play is arranged in 21 short scene and the action switches back and forth between six locations: Aboard the ship, Vic's Childhood home (backyard and living room), Vic & Martine's marital home, A spaceport on the colony planet LR4-6 and A hotel room on the planet LR4-6.
