TIFF also provide us with this detailed synopsis:
The destination is the black hole within closest reach of Earth. Most of the spaceship’s crew is kept in suspended animation, maybe because they’re a collection of dangerous prisoners, last-chancers with nothing left to lose. At first Monte (Robert Pattinson) is the only crew member awake, rigorously tending to the ship to keep them all alive as they hurtle through space. But Monte is also caring for a baby daughter, born on board. This anomaly is only the first sign of the chaos to come. As Monte’s self-discipline slips, the crew awakens and conflicts erupt.Â
I love that TIFF has said the following with regard to Rob:
In the years since the Twilight series, Pattinson has sought out increasingly challenging roles with some of the world’s best filmmakers. Here, Denis uses both the beauty and the enigma he presents to the camera to electric effect.
