In the year 2800, Earth is in a dire situation. An astronaut duo, Adam and Jake, embark on a critical mission to the distant planet of Antares. The goal: to locate a rumored settlement of humans and secure their future as the male population on Earth is dwindling due to a devastating virus that has rendered women barren.
The flight to Antares proves tumultuous. As the spaceship approaches the planet's atmosphere, the vessel encounters bizarre gravitational forces leading to a catastrophic crash landing. Both astronauts sustain injuries, with Jake being the more severely affected. Adam applies immediate medical aid using advanced technology, but their situation becomes increasingly tense when they hear the sudden barking of a dog amidst the desolate landscape outside.
As Adam explores, hopeful that the sound signifies life, he encounters a frightened primitive boy who warns him of the dangers nearby. This boy is soon captured by a group of women, known ominously as the "snakeheads," leaving Adam with a foreboding sense of the challenges ahead. Shortly thereafter, a powerful earthquake rocks the planet, further complicating their mission as they try to reconnect with Jake, who is managing the geoscan in the safety of their downed ship.
Furthering their investigation, Adam discovers a large temple, where he witnesses a shocking cultural dynamic: women dominate the society while men are treated as subordinates or sacrificial beings. This temple is home to a cult led by a fervent woman named Taksan, who worships a mysterious giant cobra, identified as the “Serpent Lord.” The sinister atmosphere transforms as they learn that the queen of Antares, Sumeru, who is battling against Taksan’s oppressive cult, is summoned into the fray.
As events spiral out of control, the boy is threatened with sacrifice. An uprising triggered by his sister Dove creates a schism between the two factions of women—those loyal to Taksan and those who support Queen Sumeru. Amidst the ensuing chaos, Adam seizes the opportunity to escape, but not without complications.
During a harrowing sequence, Adam is injured by a poisoned arrow while attempting to board the spaceship. A fierce showdown erupts between Taksan and Sumeru, who champions Adam and Jake, leading to a tense negotiation where the queen eventually saves Adam's life with an antidote.
Now in an unexpected alliance, the astronauts reveal a grim truth: Antares is on the brink of destruction. Following numerous earthquakes and geographic anomalies—the planet has merely weeks left to survive. Tensions rise as Adam shares Earth’s tumultuous history—including past wrongs committed by men that led to women’s rise to power—instilling a sense of betrayal within the queen and her followers.
Seeking a solution, they set their sights on the Burn Zone—the crash site from a millennia prior—hoping it can serve as their only escape route back to Earth. However, the expedition is fraught with danger as Taksan’s cult remnants pursue them relentlessly, culminating in further violent confrontations.
The screenplay captures a rich narrative of gender dynamics, survival, and the search for redemption as the travelers unearth truths that reshape their understanding of masculinity and femininity on Antares. Amid battles, revelations, and the constant threat of the planet’s collapse, alliances shift. The queen confronts her beliefs about men, ultimately recognizing the inherent lie that underpinned her society's treatment of them.
In a climactic battle set within the Burn Zone, Adam, Jake, and Queen Sumeru fight alongside like-minded individuals, facing Taksan in a final showdown that explores themes of power, sacrifice, and the inherent worth of all beings, regardless of gender.
As the spaceship revs up for its final departure, a sense of hope ignites. The newly formed bond between the astronauts, the queen, and the people of Antares presents an opportunity for a fairer future—one that embraces equality and respect for all. The escape craft evokes hope not only for Earth’s survival but also for a collaborative future between the people of Earth and their estranged kin on Antares.
In the ultimate scene, they successfully lift off from the dying world as everyone aboard breathes a sigh of relief, waiting to create a new beginning together. By saving the last remnants of Antares, they symbolize a fresh chapter for humanity, one potentially free from the chains of its regrettable past.
