When Juliane wakes up, everything is quiet. The ground beneath her is wet and muddy, and above her, palm leaves shield her from the sun. Juliane has just woken up in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. She has no idea how long she’s been lying there, unconscious and alone. She calls out for her mother- for someone, anyone. But there is no answer. Juliane is stranded in the biggest jungle on earth.

Outside Dallas, Texas, space enthusiasts are watching the dark silhouette of a shuttle pass by, surrounded by its fiery glow. But suddenly, the fire breaks up into several smaller silhouettes, and like falling comets with their fiery tails, they plummet to the ground. 
At first, the spectators on the ground cannot believe their eyes. But slowly but surely, reality sets in. It’s all over.
