The Astronaut centers around the character of Sam Walker, played by Kate Mara, a NASA astronaut who miraculously survives a punctured capsule found deep in the Atlantic Ocean after her first space mission.

Under the watchful eye of General William Harris, played by Laurence Fishburne, Sam is confined to a high-security house for rehabilitation and medical testing as part of the NASA protocol. However, as the story unfolds, Sam becomes increasingly unsettled as strange and disturbing occurrences begin to happen within the confines of the property.

With secrets lurking in every corner, The Astronaut promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats, craving answers until the final credits roll.
