The six member crew of the Nightingale 229 (including Spader, Bassett, and Forster) answer the mysterious man's (Facinelli) desperate plea for help, but when they collect him, they discover that their problems have compounded.

If the 20 minutes of deleted scenes on the DVD had been inserted back into the actual film, Supernova would have been much better.
