In 2092 the Earth is dying. The planet is on its last legs, decaying and polluted and abandoned (by the wealthy at least) for an orbiting habitat, built by the ruling UTS Corporation. Those left behind in the murk and the ash are the poor and lower classes.
Tae-ho (Song Joong-ki) works aboard salvage ship The Victory, with his fellow crew members Tiger Park (Jin Seon-kyu), humanoid robot Bubs (Yoo Hae-jin) and the hard-as-nails Captain Jang (Kim Tae-ri). They operate as a clean-up crew, intercepting space junk, to prevent damage to the satellite utopia above the planet. Think: The Guardians of the Galaxy, if they were super into recycling.
Things are not as utopian as they present, however. The Victory’s missions to retrieve and salvage cosmic detritus are heroic, but not well paid. Invariably they accrue fines and wrack up debt and find themselves deeper in the hole than when they started.
