Is it for me?
A soapy whodunit for space fans who care more about scheming and class resentment than hard science. Gault's inquiry into the death on the ship's artificial beach during a Launch Day party takes him from the comfortable upper decks down to the resentful lower ones. Tricia Helfer plays the captain's wife Viondra as a calculating power broker, and the dialogue gets hammy.
