The film follows Ryland Grace, a science teacher who wakes up alone on a spacecraft far away from Earth without any memory of his identity or mission.

The official synopsis reads, “Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light-years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out.
