When a Syrian doctor is forced to flee Aleppo with her young daughter, one desperate choice sets off a chain of events that ripples across borders and pulls four strangers into the same storm. A smuggler trying to save his son. A soldier wrestling with his conscience. A poet searching for home. A Greek coast guard captain caught between duty and mercy. Their paths collide on a night in the Mediterranean, where survival is uncertain, and humanity is revealed in its rawest form.
On the night of an eclipse, a star breaks the sky and falls to earth. Aisling, (Alexandra Dowling) a young woman burdened by loss, stumbles upon its living light — a fragile radiance that seems to breathe, to respond, to remember. Word of the phenomenon spreads, drawing the attention of ruthless men. Aisling flees through a sleeping city, finding unlikely allies: Raphael (John Rhys Davies), a grief-scarred elder whose faith has dimmed, and Joshua (Diego Boneta), a quiet stranger whose bravery comes is more than heroic. Across a single, dangerous night, they cross rail yards and riverbanks, chapels and forgotten streets, each step testing their resolve. What begins as a chase becomes a journey toward grace, as the light exposes wounds long hidden — and offers a choice: to stay in the past, or to embrace the future.
