However, as the series opens, the ISS goes silent. The Infiniti crew is in distress and goes AWOL. As it does, American astronaut Anthony Kurz screams out to Anna&#8230; a Frenchwoman who, at that moment, is lying in an ambulance in Paris, after OD&#8217;ing on pharmaceuticals. It&#8217;s a wake-up call.\u00a0 Meanwhile, Isaak, a Kazakh cop, discovers a decapitated body covered in wax and wearing an amulet bearing the eye of Zarathustra. Mysteries abound. Convinced that Kurz is still alive, Anna vows to rescue him. Isaak is convinced that the dead body he&#8217;s found is Kurz and that the Russians have hatched a plot to kill the entire Infiniti crew. Anna and Issak soon join forces. But how can Kurz possibly be both dead and alive?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Thierry Poiraud<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> began by cowriting and codirecting several projects with his brother, Didier Poiraud, and occasionally with St\u00e9phane Elmadjian.
