Will (Winston Duke) spends his days at a distant outpost viewing live Point of View (POV) on TVs of people going about their daily lives until one of the subjects dies, leaving a void for a new life on Earth. Several candidates - unborn souls - arrive to Will's to undertake fitness tests, with the possibility of oblivion if they are considered unfit. Will, on the other hand, is quickly confronted with his own existential crisis in the form of free-spirited Emma (Zazie Beetz), a candidate who stands out from the crowd, pushing him to look within and confront his own chaotic past. He discovers a brave new path forward in his own life, fueled by unexpected force.
