Spoilers ahead
Two sets of mixed fraternal twins, Cane Rupert Graves and Awan Leanne Best, as well as Eva Ellie Kendrick and Seth Joe Macaulay, inhabit an unnamed planet where people are linked by telepathic “hive minds” through devices implanted in the back of their necks. Their society is relentlessly logical and utilitarian, valuing efficiency and order above emotion or chaos, and their unique bond gives them an unusually strong telepathic rapport. Because of this closeness, they are chosen for a high-stakes colonization mission to Earth after a space probe transmits Beethoven’s Fifth, which the crew quickly recognizes as evidence of intelligent life—though its true purpose remains unclear, as there appears to be little or no art on their world.
