The synopsis reads: "A biologist taking part in a groundbreaking research project, Claire Reith (Andrea Riseborough) is the first woman to set foot on the moon, and her disappearance throws suspicion on her fellow astronauts and China's rival base.
It adds: "With the action switching between Mission Control in the UK and the lunar surface, this is a race against time like no other, with the remaining astronauts under increasing pressure and Ben hoping against hope that he and his wife can be reunited.
"But how well can two people really know each other?"
Of principal concern to Helen will be the claim that Claire had willingly left her Lunar Module in the moments prior to her disappearance, as she suspects Mission Control of attempting to hide something.
Meanwhile, PM Scott will be fending for his political career as the catastrophic events unfold, potentially having to take drastic measures "in pursuit of his own personal ambition".
The commission was announced last week and filming is currently taking place in Belfast.
Riseborough commented: "As a kid, I dreamed, perhaps more than anything, of space. Of emptiness and stars, and the vastness of all that those 'grounded' reflected on in verse.
Walters added: "What an honour to be a part of such a bold and propulsive drama with a team of people that I have dreamt of working with. I always want to be a part of projects that make us converse and think outside the box. This one does just that."
