A man walks down a lonely road wearing a blue jumpsuit. He hears music coming out of a cafe up the road. He enters to find a jukebox playing but no one up front. He begins shouting to the back, expecting someone to be back there, but gets no answer. Frustrated, he goes in the back and finds it abandoned. He searches out back and finds nothing but trash. He goes back into the kitchen to find coffee still hot on the stove, along with some pies and sausage. He pours himself a cup and searches his pocket, finding some money. He shouts that he can pay for his meal, then notes the currency is American. He concludes he is American as well, and admits he doesn't know who he is. He continues to shout for someone, and eventually begins singing to himself to end the silence. Concluding no one is there, he pays for his meal and leaves, heading towards a town.

The scene then cuts to a group of men in uniform, hearing the man's pleas. They are watching him inside a small box, and he is really pressing a panic button. After a few moments, they clock him, and the leader orders his release. The colonel releases him with care. He then reports to his superior that he was in that box for 484 hours and six minutes. The press then arrives for a statement. The man was locked in a simulated flight to the moon, testing to see how a man would react to the isolation of the trip. The town was a product of his sensory deprived mind. He then talks to the man, Mike Ferris, now lucid once more. As he is carried out on the stretcher, he looks at the moon and promises to be there soon.
