Synopsis
During China’s Cultural Revolution, a disillusioned astrophysicist secretly sends a message into space — and receives an answer. Decades later, a nanomaterials researcher is drawn into a mysterious virtual reality game that reveals a civilization from a nearby star system with three suns, whose chaotic orbits drive them to seek a new home: Earth.
