Dr. Larry Chambers (Gregory Harrison) helped build the colony on the
Janus Five. He and fellow scientist Amanda Harper (Kimberly Huffman)
run computer simulations that show the planet's star will flash over in a
matter of days, emitting waves of deadly radiation, so Dr. Chambers
urges evacuation. This is not a popular recommendation, especially
among the colony's leaders who include council chairman Franklin
Murdock (William Atherton), security head Montgomery Bennett (Alan
Scarfe) and Amanda's father, Ian Harper (Ken Pogue). They point out that
Chambers has been wrong before - - the colony had to be moved at great
cost after he warned of deadly volcanic activity - - and suggest that his
judgment has been clouded by the death of his wife Elise. When that
doesn't stop Chambers, Murdock and Bennett discredit him by falsely
accusing him of being one of the aliens who originally inhabited the planet,
suggesting that the evacuation plan is a plot to reclaim the planet for his
people. Imprisoned and threatened with death, Chamber's only hope is
that Amanda will uncover the truth in time to save him and the colony.
