The captain of the team, Han Yun‑Jae (Gong Yoo), is a soldier for the space agency. Lieutenant Ryu Tae‑seok (Lee Joon) of the Ministry of National Defense volunteers to be part of the crew in an attempt to escape the stifling environment at the Ministry.
The sample turns out to consist of a new element that ostensibly looks like water, but multiplies like a virus when it comes in contact with living cells.
