Plot
A genius but mentally unbalanced scientist, Quint, attempts to save his terminally ill children, Miles and Flora, by freezing them alive through cryptobiosis. He operates out of a remote, abandoned, and isolated research facility where he clandestinely brings the comatose body of his estranged wife, Jessie, so that he may experiment on her and find a cure for his children. He buries himself in research, and motivated by the fear of loss, he works day and night to find a cure to their deadly genetic disease. He intends to decode the DNA of the Turritopsis jellyfish which are biologically immortal and possess the ability to transdifferentiate. However, Quint faces a number of obstacles, distractions, and antagonists in the form of Jessie’s spirit, his former flame Charlie, and his erstwhile employer Masterson.
