Cast: Rupert Friend, Mackenzie Davis, Atanáz Babinchak, Ed Cantu, Elizabeth Lande

Romance Science Fiction
A brilliant but emotionally frayed scientist, Margot, vanishes without a trace during a mountain trek with her husband, Sam, and their close-knit circle of friends. Weeks pass in agonizing silence—until the very morning of her own memorial, she walks back into their lives as if pulled from the void. Yet the woman who returns is unmistakably altered, carrying shadows the old Margot never had. Still, for Sam, her impossible return feels like a gift—a fragile, second shot at the life they almost lost.
