Cameron Edwin lives a rather boring life in a small Ohio town with his wife Erin and daughter Nora. He hosts a children's science television show in a small market that runs at midnight. Cameron always wanted to be an astronaut, but grew up in the shadow of his more successful scientist father.

When part of a rocket falls from orbit and crashes into his backyard, he decides to fulfill his unrealized dream and rebuild it into his own rocket. His wife, who has started divorce proceedings, thinks he is having a midlife crisis. As other surreal events occur in his life, he not only feels his mission is justified but begins to question the nature of reality.
