Jess Hong, Eiza González, Jovan Adepo, Alex Sharp and John Bradley join the “Oxford 5”, a group of physicist university friends – some of whom are former – around whom an interspecies, existential survival story is shaped in a world dominated by a supernatural phenomenon that makes many scientists commit suicide one by one.
