" As the entire world is plunged into war for a second time, Antonio Márez (Luke Ganalon) grapples with the harsh realities all around him. His life is forever changed by the sudden arrival of Ultima (Miriam Colon), a woman with supernatural healing powers, who has come to his family on a mission of kindness.
After the disappearance of her scientist father, three peculiar beings send Meg, her brother, and her friend to space in order to find him. Ava DuVernay directs a star-studded cast including Storm Reid as Meg in a performance that critics often singled out.
