The Avalon, a sleeper ship transporting 5,000 colonists and 258 crew members in hibernation pods, is on course from Earth to the planet Homestead II, a journey lasting 120 years. Thirty years into the journey, an asteroid collision damages the ship, resulting in a malfunction that awakens one passenger, mechanical engineer James “Jim” Preston, 90 years too early.

After a year of isolation, with only an android barman named Arthur for company, Jim grows despondent and contemplates suicide until he notices a beautiful young woman named Aurora Lane inside her pod. Jim views Aurora’s video file and is smitten with her. After struggling with the morality of prematurely reviving Aurora for companionship, therein robbing her of her future/planned life, he awakens her, letting her believe that her pod also malfunctioned. Jim asks Arthur to keep the secret that he woke her up until Jim himself has told her. Aurora, devastated at having to live out her life on the ship, unsuccessfully attempts to re-enter hibernation. Resigned to the situation, Aurora, a writer and journalist, begins writing a book about her experience.

Over the next year, Jim and Aurora slowly grow closer, eventually falling in love with each other. Jim intends to propose to Aurora, but after Arthur hears Jim say there that are “no secrets” between Aurora and him, Arthur inadvertently reveals the truth to her. Aurora, anguished, alternately berates, shuns, and physically attacks Jim. She furiously rejects Jim’s pleas for forgiveness, and she avoids any contact with him.

Soon after, another pod failure awakens Gus Mancuso, Chief Deck Officer. He discovers multiple failures throughout the ship’s systems, although the computer does not reveal what is causing them. If not repaired, the ship will continue suffering critical system failures and the mission may fail, which could cost the lives of all the hibernating passengers and crew. Gus attempts to repair the ship with Jim and Aurora’s help but he soon falls critically ill, due to his body having been physically and fatally damaged by his malfunctioning pod. The Autodoc, the ship’s automated medical diagnostics and treatment pod, reveals that Gus has a prognosis of only hours to live. Before dying, Gus gives Jim and Aurora his ID badge to access crew-only areas and to repair the ship.

Jim and Aurora discover a series of hull breaches from the asteroid collision two years earlier. The computer module administering the fusion reactor powering the ship has been critically damaged, causing the ship’s cascading malfunctions as all of the other systems divert computing power towards trying to maintain the reactor. Jim and Aurora are unsuccessful in trying to vent the reactor, resulting in the reactor destabilizing. Jim and Aurora replace the damaged module, but when the computer attempts to vent the reactor to extinguish a runaway plasma reaction, the exterior vent hatch fails. Jim is forced to vent the plasma by walking across the ship’s exterior and accessing the manual hatch controls within the vent tube. The hatch malfunction makes Jim realize that he must stay within the tube to keep the hatch manually open while Aurora initiates the venting from inside the ship. She admits being terrified of losing Jim and being left alone. After venting the reactor, Jim is blown out of the tube, his tether snaps, and his damaged spacesuit loses oxygen; Aurora barely manages to retrieve a clinically dead Jim from space and resuscitates him in the Autodoc.

Afterwards, Jim learns that the Autodoc can function as a makeshift hibernation pod for one person. He can put Aurora back in hibernation for the remainder of the voyage and offers her the chance to make it to Homestead II and live her desired life, willing to become alone again to do so. Realizing that she would never see Jim again, Aurora chooses to remain awake with Jim, and he presents her with the ring he had made, which she accepts.

Eighty-eight years later, the ship’s crew is awakened on schedule, shortly before arrival at Homestead II. In the ship’s grand concourse area they discover a huge tree, many trailing vines, much vegetation, birds flying, and a cabin. Aurora’s voice-over is reading her story, describing the wonderful life she and Jim had together on the Avalon.
