Synopsis  
On the NOSTOS, a patchwork starship carrying what’s left of the European-Union to a new home across the galaxy, everyone seems destined for a rootless life of blue-collar-labour until a jaded maintenance worker, an insubordinate prodigy and a repurposed sex-clone, get caught up in a rebellion that will make them a family, and change the course of humanity forever.

Creators' Quote
"NOSTOS is a story about immigration and class revolution, obscure music and radiation-eating mushrooms, zero gravity sex, friendship, family, and love, all set on a European starship that’s falling apart at the seams. This project has a “meant-to-be” quality like nothing we’ve worked on before, and we can’t wait to share it with the world.”
