Summary

In the late 21st century, a crew of scientists aboard the spaceship Nightflyer journey to the edge of the solar system to make contact with an alien species that could save a dying Earth. As tensions rise among the crew, including a powerful telepath, they discover the ship itself harbors a dangerous presence tied to its reclusive captain. Based on the novella by George R.R. Martin.
