In the year 2257, humanity's last hope for survival lies on Nova Terra, a distant planet colonized by the remnants of Earth's population. Jenna Ortega plays Captain Maya Blackwood, a skilled and fearless leader who commanded the final fleet of evacuees. After a catastrophic crash landing, Maya awakens to find herself stranded and alone, with no sign of the other survivors. As she navigates the treacherous terrain, she discovers that Nova Terra is not as barren as it seems. The planet is teeming with strange, deadly creatures and rival factions vying for power. Maya soon learns that the planet's unique energy signature has a profound effect on human biology, slowly unleashing a primal, savage aspect of her own psyche. As she struggles to maintain control and find a way off the planet, she must confront the darkness within herself and make difficult choices to ensure the future of humanity. Throughout her journey, Maya encounters other survivors, including a mysterious and charismatic figure (played by a talented actor TBD) who may hold the key to unlocking the secrets of Nova Terra.
