Zoe and the Astronaut

Zoe has suffered with Leukemia her whole life. When Zoe's condition worsens after the latest course of treatment, her Doctor gives her a few months to live. Zoe, heartbroken, responds by resigning from life completely while her parents, John and Elizabeth, try to lift her spirits and fail. One day, in a field near her home, an Astronaut falls from the sky, crash landing in a space pod amongst the Trees. John and Zoe rescue him from the wreckage and take him home. The Astronaut, known only as Jacques begins to unravel a mysterious tale. He was born in space on a lost mission shuttle and has managed to navigate his way back to Earth as the sole survivor. New to all things on the Planet, Zoe spends her last days teaching Jacques about the wonders of Planet Earth. Zoe's Parents, seemingly over-protective of her, attempt to shelter Zoe from becoming too attached to Jacques. However against their hopes, Zoe and Jacques fall for each other. As Zoe's Parents begin to investigate Jacques' past, it becomes clear that he isn't all he claims to be. —Sahara Road
