Among the group is Will Dawkins (Luke Hemsworth), a man confined to a wheelchair and struggling with depression following a tragic accident that took his daughter’s life and fractured his marriage. As the alien object is brought into their lives, it begins to exhibit unusual properties, seemingly offering a miraculous cure to Will’s paralysis, allowing him to walk again when he’s connected to it. This connection, however, comes with an unspoken cost and raises questions about the alien’s true intentions – is it benevolent, or does it have a more sinister purpose?
The situation quickly escalates as government agents, led by Agent Tevis (Wendy Davis), begin to show a keen interest in the crashed object and the alien. They are ruthless in their pursuit, executing these extraterrestrial lifeforms without hesitation, adding a layer of tension and danger to the narrative. As Will and his friends grapple with the alien’s mysterious powers and the relentless pursuit of the authorities, the film delves into themes of trust, faith, and the very nature of reality, constantly subverting expectations and leaving the audience to question what is truly happening. The climax culminates in a desperate attempt to understand the alien’s purpose and evade both its potentially dangerous influence and the determined government agents.
