Plot:
A spaceship in the depths of space heading towards a black hole. On board is a crew of convicted felons who have chosen this "suicide" mission to escape their life sentences on Earth. There are no clear hierarchies, but Dr. Dibs, a doctor and also a convicted felon, is in command. Dibs' job is to breed offspring for the crew members through artificial insemination in order to produce a second generation for the seemingly endless flight. But some crew members, including Monte and Boyse, resist the treatments. Because the radioactivity in space causes all attempts at reproduction to fail, Dibs resorts to extreme measures to produce a baby after all, despite their fierce resistance. Little Willow remains the only child in the spaceship. Years later, Willow is now a young woman, and after several bloody battles on board, only Monte and his daughter are left. In complete isolation, they approach their final and inevitable destination - the event horizon of the black hole; the end of space and time.
