LatestIsaak discovers the events that took place aboard the MIR station 25 years earlier and unlocks the secret of the killer's identity. In the damaged station, covered in frost and soon deprived of oxygen, Anna finds part of the crew and tries to bring everyone back to Earth.
The ISS, the International Space Station has gone silent. The crew is in distress. Simultaneously, a decapitated and waxed body is found on a roof in Kazakhstan. Positive identification leaves no room for doubt: the body belongs to an American astronaut currently on a mission on the ISS. A French astronaut, dismissed from the space program, and a Kazakh cop, disowned by his ranking hierarchy, set out to solve this mysterious paradox.

Acting

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed at Baikonur's actual cosmonaut quarters with former Roscosmos consultants. The Soyuz launch sequence uses real archival audio.
The series explicitly mirrors France's colonial relationship with Kazakhstan — rare for sci-fi to engage post-Soviet exploitation this directly. The Kazakh cop protagonist was non-negotiable for the creators.
