It is Christmas, 2046, and brave astronauts are returning home in a tiny spaceship after a disastrous attempt to establish a base on Mars. They have exactly one year to endure the cramped confines of the malfunctioning capsule before once again setting foot on Earth.
Carla has a small but important job at the space agency; she monitors and controls all personal email communication between the astronauts and their family and friends...and lovers. All she wanted was to help Howard the astronaut out with a problem, to stop him from getting an email that meant having a bad Christmas while stuck in a tiny spaceship.
She didn't count on falling in love with Howard, and she certainly didn't count on ending up in a long distance love affair with a man who thought she was someone else.
Now she is the one with a problem. Next Christmas the astronauts will return and her secret will be revealed. Only a miracle can keep her world from falling apart.
