In 1977 the Voyager spacecraft is launched on its journey of discovery. It carries with it a time capsule containing a Golden Record of sounds and music from earth - a brief history of mankind. Just minutes after this momentous launch, a baby girl is born on earth. Carrie. Four decades later, Voyager is 12 billion miles from home - further than anything manmade has ever travelled. Carrie is a teacher and soon to be married. As Voyager leaves our solar system a change is triggered in Carrie and a strong desire to leave Earth begins to grow.
