Ascension is based on a fictitious, secret space mission launched by the U.S. government in 1963 to save mankind.

But half way through the voyage, a young woman is murdered aboard the starship and things start to unravel.
Ascension was written by Adrian Cruz who wrote the screenplay for Splinter. Cast members include Al Sapienza, Tricia Helfer, P.J. Boudousqué, Tiffany Lonsdale, and Brad Carter.
