Plot: What's the story about?
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.
