Spoilers ahead
High above the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, a solar eclipse triggers a dramatic drop in the mesosphere’s temperature. This sudden cooling causes dense, cold air to penetrate through a weakened ozone layer, leading to the emergence of a menacing ice fog that envelops the region. Among those caught up in this atmospheric upheaval is Jack Tate, a dedicated meteorologist with the International Climate Research Organization (ICRO). Alongside his colleagues Zoe Quinn and Alex, they closely monitor this alarming atmospheric anomaly. However, tragedy strikes when their research vessel is rapidly engulfed by the ice fog, resulting in the deaths of Alex and the rest of the crew on board.
