Spoilers ahead
In the beginning of this captivating tale, the inhabitants of Earth are blissfully unaware of a cosmic truth: humanity, along with numerous other life forms across the universe, has been cultivated by trans-human and alien royalty for one sole purpose— the extraction of a youth serum for their elite counterparts on distant planets. Following the demise of the matriarch of the powerful House of Abrasax, a fierce power struggle ensues among her offspring—Balem (Eddie Redmayne), Kalique (Tuppence Middleton), and Titus (Douglas Booth). Balem comes into possession of a massive refinery on Jupiter while Titus intends to dismantle the nefarious youth serum industry, with Earth being the next target for harvesting.
