A Tale of Survival and Regeneration In the near future, human beings undertake a grand scheme to colonize Niflheim-a frozen world that lies light-years away from Earth. The film narrates about Mickey Barnes, the role portrayed by Robert Pattinson, an "expendable" worker that forms part of the human expedition. Actually, being expendable, one's life is disposable; Mickey has a lot to carry along with him in his work, dangerous and life-threatening jobs irrespective of his safety. But there's also a twist to Mickey's being: while he was, during an expedition, dying, his body was regenerated and brought back to life with most of his memories intact.
This process, which they call human cloning, leads to a constant cycle of death and rebirth with Mickey's consciousness remaining active at the end of every cycle. Through the film, the psychological toll that this process takes on Mickey unfolds, explaining Mickey's sense of identity, purpose, and the growing awareness of the existence as not as expendable as originally believed.

Meanwhile, other members of the team, such as Nasha played by Naomi Ackie, Berto played by Steven Yeun, and Gwen played by Toni Collette, have to deal with the ethical and moral dilemmas of cloning while fighting for their survival in Niflheim's rough environment.
