The International Space Station (ISS) is launched and begins its mission in orbit. Over the course of 30 years, it becomes a pivotal research facility with a tremendous budget of $200 billion.

A probe returning from Mars arrives at the ISS, carrying a soil sample that potentially contains signs of extraterrestrial life. The crew is poised to conduct groundbreaking experiments with this sample.

Astronaut Rory Adams ventures outside the ISS to capture the returning capsule using the robotic arm. With precise control and immense risk, he successfully secures it, avoiding a potential disaster.

On the second day after capturing the capsule, the crew transports the powerful soil sample to a specialized quarantine lab. Preparations begin to analyze it for signs of life.

Exobiologist Hugh Derry revives a dormant cell from the Mars sample under controlled conditions. This significant moment marks the discovery of what appears to be the first undeniable proof of extraterrestrial life.

Calvin, the revived organism, begins to evolve into a multi-celled life form. The crew is both fascinated and alarmed by Calvin's rapid growth and its unpredictability.

On day 12, Hugh discovers Calvin's ability to change cell specialization, showcasing its alarming adaptability. This revelation raises concerns about the potential risks Calvin poses.

By day 25, an accident causes Calvin to fall back into dormancy, providing a temporary reprieve for the crew. However, Hugh's attempt to revive it with electricity triggers a severe escalation of events.

When Hugh tries to energize Calvin, it directly attacks him, leading to chaos in the lab. Calvin escapes and becomes a looming predator within the station, raising alarms for the crew.

During an attempt to help Hugh, Rory becomes a victim of Calvin's predatory instincts. As tensions rise, the remaining crew members are put in peril as Calvin grows larger and more aggressive.

As the ISS descends into a decaying orbit, communication with Earth is severed. The crew faces mounting pressure to contain Calvin while also dealing with their dwindling options.

A Soyuz capsule is sent from Earth to retrieve the crew, but chaos erupts when Calvin attacks Sho during boarding attempts. The situation escalates, threatening everyone's lives.

In a desperate move, David sacrifices himself by leading Calvin into an escape pod. Meanwhile, Miranda manages to launch in a separate pod, but the outcome for both remains uncertain.

The film's climax presents both David and Miranda facing their fates amidst Calvin's lethal presence. The encounter with the extraterrestrial life leaves a haunting impression on the ISS crew.

The closing scenes reveal the ominous implications of their findings. The crew's experience serves as a cautionary tale about the unknown consequences of exploring extraterrestrial life.
