Daniel Pokrovksy is a doctor working with the first group of Soviet cosmonauts. In the middle of the preparation for the first human flight into outer space, Pokrovksy must grapple with a human tragedy. Caught in a conflict of honor and conscience, spiritual integrity and scientific duty, Pokrovksy must make a choice--a decision that could cost him not only his personal happiness and professional respect, but also his life.
