Description

In a world where the sun is slowly dying, casting the Earth into perpetual twilight, humanity clings to hope and survival. Amidst this apocalyptic backdrop, 18-year-old Lila Sinclair returns to her small hometown, seeking solace from the grim reality at the place where she once felt safe. There, she reunites with her childhood friend, the enigmatic and brooding 32-year-old Elijah Kemp, a former scientist now living in seclusion. As they rekindle their friendship, long-buried feelings resurface, igniting a forbidden romance that defies their age gap and the world's impending doom. Together, they uncover a hidden truth—an experimental project Elijah once worked on that might hold the key to rekindling the dying sun. But as they race against time, societal norms, and their own fears, they must decide whether their love is a beacon of hope or a distraction from the inevitable end.
