Five people trapped on a spaceship, millions of miles away from Earth, with no food and no water, their oxygen supply slowly being depleted. They've just survived a massive explosion that destroyed a large scientific laboratory carrying deadly strains of viruses that killed literally everyone but them. Think the action and adventure is coming? Think again. Decaying Orbit is actually more of a dramatic mystery than anything else, complete with treason, greed, and (finally!) mutiny. Not to mention a very impressive and cool female cast that manages to strip nearly naked and keep way more dignity than you'd expect.
Burton (Darren Schnase), a high-ranking officer, finds himself stranded with Kate (Denise Gossett), an antagonistic and strong-willed officer who disagrees with almost his every decision, and Rob (Andy Allen) and Winnie (Asa Wallander), two officers who have never been in such dire straits in their entire careers and desperately need guidance. Along for the ride is Hermel, a doctor who escaped at the last minute from the fiery inferno only to potentially bring aboard the crazy, bio-engineered virus that was housed on the now-combusted facility. Besides being scared to death, the survivors wonder, who or what caused the explosion? And if it was a "who", why? As time runs out and they need to make decisions as to how they are going to survive and get a signal back to earth, clues emerge as to what really happened on the laboratory and that the culprit might actually be one of the five survivors.
