Synopsis

In the 24th century, teleportation has made space travel instantaneous, but it comes with a strict rule: travelers must be anesthetized before making the transition. As a father prepares his family for a journey to Mars, he shares the history of this technology and the terrifying fate of those who stayed awake during the jump. Soon, they must undergo the process themselves, hoping everyone remains safely asleep.
