The 21st century. The human race lives in affluence and happiness. Nobody wants to choose the difficult and risky profession of an astronaut. Hence it is necessary to start sending prisoners into space. One of them, Scope, travels to a new planet to claim it on behalf of humankind. To his astonishment, when he lands there, the inhabitants of the planet treat him as their hero... However, it appears that nothing is for free. After all, heroes usually meet beautiful death...
