After an astronaut dies on Mars, the government space agency tries to hide it by convincing a washed out pilot to submit to plastic surgery and take his place. They manage to convince almost everyone except his wife. When she finds out the truth, they threaten to expose the conspiracy. She falls in love with the replacement husband along the way. Potentially intriguing made-for-TV movie turns out to be mostly a low budget romance.
