The Space Drifter Plot Details

Meet a young woman nicknamed Kaya Degaré found unconscious drifting in space by a starship destroyer of the Galactic Council. They take her in, but discover that she has no memory of who she is, how she ended up drifting in space and why she seems to be immortal. While they perform scientific experiments and studies, she is placed under Phebus’s care, who is told to secretly perform tests for latent dark matter within her.

As the experiments progress, Kaya realises that they are attempting to learn more than just who she is, and discovers that another Space Drifter, named Forest, had been found years before. Due to the destruction he caused while recovering his memory, the Galactic destroyer plans to detain her and possibly attempt to destroy her if that is the only means to uncover the secrets to obtaining her powers and immortality.

Realising that the only answer to her mystery would be to visit the imprisoned Space Drifter, she is forced to escape the ship when the destroyer’s scientists discover that she does have dark matter inside of her. As they escape, another adversary appears. Jedan, the captain who had originally found Forest and assigned him to Phebus, has been studying black holes and dark matter in the hopes of gaining the same abilities, powers that he hopes to use to overthrow the Galactic council and rule the universe.

The Space Drifter screenplay is registered with the Writers Guild of South Africa and won Logline and Pitch awards on Stage 32.
