AI GeneratedA mysterious toxin, likely spread by plants and carried by the wind, triggers sudden, emotionless mass suicides across the Northeast US. Science teacher Elliot, his wife Alma, and their friend's daughter Jess struggle to survive as the toxin evolves to target smaller and smaller groups. After a harrowing journey, they survive the event, though a final warning suggests the phenomenon is a planetary message and will return.
It's a lovely morning in New York
and people are enjoying themselves in Central Park.
Suddenly the crowd starts behaving strangely, they repeat words,
freeze still in the middle of the road, or begin walking backwards.
At that moment some people start screaming,
and on a bench, a woman watches how her friend
mumbles the same phrase a few times before grabbing
her hairpin to self-delete right there.
Downtown, a group of construction workers are taking a break
when suddenly a body falls next
to them. At first the others think it was an accident,
And when they look up they discover all
but soon another body falls.
the workers on the upper floors are coming out
to self-delete too.
One by one, they all fall to their deaths,
their faces always blank with no emotion whatsoever.
Meanwhile science teacher Elliot is telling his class about
the time millions of bees disappeared all over the country.
A student says that there will always be events that science can't
explain and we will never fully understand, which Elliot agrees with.
The other students begin to enthusiastically
discuss mysterious events only to be interrupted
when Elliot is called to an emergency staff meeting.
On his way to the main hall, Elliot glances into other classrooms
and sees students getting shocked by something on their phones.
Once all the staff has arrived,
the principal explains that the city is in an emergency state.
Apparently some terrorists have released
a weird gas in Central Park that makes people
end things for themselves.
This has caused classes to be cancelled in the whole city.
Then the teachers return to their classrooms
and tell the students they can leave for the
day.
Elliot leaves with his best friend
and fellow teacher Julian, whose mother is hysterical
on the phone even though she is in Philadelphia
and told Julian to bring his family over.
Julian and his wife Alma are also invited,
and Julian admits to Julian that Alma has been
distant lately. At home, Elliot's wife Alma is nervous
because she keeps getting a call from
someone named Joey, who she doesn't want to talk to.
She ignores her phone and watches the news to
learn about all the people who keep dying in the area
and how New York is being evacuated.
Soon Elliot arrives and together they do the packing to leave the city.
The couple makes it to the train station,
where they find Julian with his daughter Jess.
His wife got stuck in traffic in Princeton,
so she will take the next train.
On the station's TV, a reporter informs
that autopsies reveal the toxin is a natural compound.
Julian makes a comment referencing
the couple's marriage trouble and this angers Alma,
who doesn't want their intimate details to be exposed like that.
Meanwhile in Rittenhouse Park in Philadelphia,
a cop is trying his best to keep a traffic jam
under control. As the wind blows through the park's trees,
most people suddenly freeze,
and the cop uses his gun to self-delete. Then the taxi driver gets out,
picks up the gun, and does the same thing.
Next the gun is picked up by a woman, who also uses it to end things.
Back to Elliot's group, they are on the train
and Alma finally picks up Joey's call to tell
him to stop calling her because they only shared
a dessert and it didn't mean anything.
At that moment Joey tells her that the event
is also happening in Philadelphia,
and soon most people start getting calls from friends
and relatives telling them other cities
like Boston were also hit.
Eventually the train stops at Pennsylvania, and the workers inform the
passengers this is the last stop
because all train services have been discontinued. They've also
lost all contact, so there's nothing they can do to help.
There is a small rural town nearby,
so the crowd ends up in a diner.
A woman receives a video from the Philadelphia Zoo,
showing a man walking into the lion cage
and getting killed by the animals.
Reporters announced that the government has taken back
the idea of a terrorist attack.
The event is happening in the northeast area
and spreading through small towns.
At that moment the power goes out and people panic,
so everyone rushes to escape in their cars.
Elliot and Alma try asking for help,
but everyone ignores him. Thankfully an older
couple who runs a plant nursery invites them to come with them,
so Elliot and Alma call Julian
over. However Julian lost contact with his wife
and wants to find her, so he leaves Jess with
Elliot and Alma and then goes away
with a family that is heading to Princeton.
Moments later, the couple stops by their home to gather supplies,
And the husband tells Elliot he thinks it's
the plants who are spreading the chemicals
killing people.
Meanwhile Julian's group makes it to Princeton,
only to discover this area has also been infected.
There are lots of bodies hanging from the trees
by the road and the girl in the car
starts panicking, so Julian makes her look at him
and solve a math problem to keep her
distracted.
As he talks, he notices a hole in the car's roof.
Suddenly the car stops, and after a pause, it crashes against a tree.
Julian comes out of the car and uses some broken glass to self-delete.
Back to Elliot's group, they're driving away
and hearing on the radio that the latest theory is
water contamination. When they get out of town
and reach the countryside, they find the road
blocked by a bunch of bodies, so they start diving backward.
However when they reach the intersection,
they find cars coming from the other roads too,
including an army truck. All the drivers report
that those roads also lead to lots of bodies blocking
the way, meaning they're surrounded
by the toxin in every direction.
Elliot tries calling Julian but he won't answer.
Then he notices that Alma has lost calls from Joey,
so he asks her who he is but Alma answers
nobody.
Hearing people in other cars share
that the event always starts in parks, Elliot thinks
the plant theory may be true after all.
At that moment a woman manages to get in contact
with her daughter in Princeton, who says everyone
in town is dead.
The call ends when the girl suddenly dies,
and Elliot can hear the wind blowing into
the girl's room.
Then Elliot realizes that Julian is most likely dead
and has to give the news to Jess, comforting
her through her breakdown.
Afterward an army private and Elliot agree
that since the attacks are happening in highly
populated areas, they need to get off the roads.
The crowd is divided into two groups and they
start crossing the countryside to reach
a small remote town nearby that may be safe
because it's still in development.
As they walk, Alma finally tells Elliot about Joey,
he was a co-worker she had dinner with when she
was supposed to be working late. Nothing happened,
but she felt guilty about lying
and that's why she's been distant. Suddenly the wind starts
blowing and the larger group freezes.
Then the soldier walks backwards and uses his gun to self
Elliot's small group can hear how the gun keeps shooting over
and over, meaning the others
including the nursery couple are using it to end things too.
As the small group starts to panic,
Elliot yells at them to shut up
and uses a scientific deduction method to analyze the
evidence he has so far and reach a conclusion.
He thinks the toxin is indeed being spread by
the plants, but it's only triggered by large groups
of people, so they need to split into
smaller groups. Three smaller groups result
from this and they all begin running in different
different directions.
Elliot, Alma, and Jess run away with two teenage boys, but
But no matter how fast they move, the wind soon catches up to them.
Their group stops running to protect their faces
and the wind blows around them,
but luckily nothing happens.
Elliot thinks this confirms the size of the group matters.
After lots of running, the group finally finds
the small town and hides inside a
house where everything is fake because it's for show.
There's a plant in a room and Elliot
approaches it slowly, asking it to be good
to them before he realizes it's a plastic plant
and he's an idiot. After taking a break,
they decide to leave before more people come to hide
here and trigger the toxin. As they run up a hill,
they see two groups arrive and make a larger crowd.
Instantly causing them to freeze.
Only one man moves to start a commercial lawnmower,
which kills him in seconds.
Elliot's group continues to walk for hours and find a radio
on a fence. An emergency broadcast informs
that people should go to the west borders
to be picked up by the police.
Eventually the group is too tired and hungry to keep going,
so when they find a boarded up house they decide to stop there.
As they walk, Elliot makes up a story about
a clerk he flirted with and it makes Alma feel
better even if it's a lie. The group knocks on the house door
but nobody comes out. They consider
entering by force, but at that moment they see people moving inside.
Elliot asks nicely for help,
but when the owner turns them down,
the teens get aggressive and use foul language as they shake
the boards on the windows. The owner gets annoyed
and ends up shooting through a hole in the window,
instantly killing both teenage boys.
Terrified, the trio starts running again.
Meanwhile survivors are shown in various buildings
in the area taking different options.
Some of them wear masks while others
are gathering as many guns as possible.
On TV, a reporter interviews a scientist,
who explains that the attacks are getting
more intense by the hour and affecting smaller groups of people.
Moments later, Elliot's group finds
a house with no power or a used road,
so they think it's abandoned.
However when they get closer they meet Mrs. Jones,
who chose many years ago to remain out
of contact with the whole world.
She agrees to let them stay the night and share food,
but she doesn't want to know about the event
and asks them not to discuss it.
Mrs. Jones is a very weird lady,
one second she behaves sweetly, the next second she is
smacking Jess' hand for taking
the cookies she offered herself. Later in the evening,
Elliot and Alma are talking in whispers because Jess is sleeping.
Mrs. Jones overhears them
and accuses them of planning to kill her or rob her. In the morning,
Elliot goes looking for Mrs. Jones to tell her something
and is shocked to find a creepy
doll on her bed instead.
When he comes closer, Mrs. Jones appears behind him
and yells at him, calling him a thief
and telling him to leave immediately.
Then she goes to her garden,
where suddenly the wind starts blowing and makes Mrs. Jones walk
backward. Elliot sees this and immediately rushes to close all doors
and windows, only for Mrs.
Jones to start breaking the glass
in a rather painful way until she dies. As the wind begins
coming inside, Elliot runs through the house trying to find Alma
and Jess. Somehow he can
hear them, but can't locate them.
He thinks he hears them in the cellar, but when he goes in he
is alone. Alma and Jess are actually outside
in an old stone spring house, and a speaking
The leaking tube connects both buildings.
Elliot uses this tube to tell them that now
the toxin seems to be set off by even one person alone.
After sharing a few nice words and memories,
Elliot decides that he doesn't want to die alone
and goes outside. Alma and Jess soon come out too
and everyone holds hands while the wind blows
around them. However nothing happens and the trio returns to the house,
realizing that the event has
finally ended.
Three months later, Alma
and Elliot are happily living together while raising Jess.
Alma also discovers she's pregnant
and Elliot becomes delighted by this news.
On TV, a scientist explains that the event
was probably a message sent by
the planet to warn humanity that they're causing too much damage,
so they should expect another attack soon.
Meanwhile in a park in France,
people start freezing and screaming can
be heard as the wind blows around them.
