Televisions broadcast live images of people sprawled on the ground at a sporting event in day-time Melbourne and on a news set. A frantic NATO officer snatches a rifle and forces his way onto the plane, which has just begun boarding. He demands that the co-pilot take off heading west immediately, shooting him in the hand and damaging the radio. With the captain and a flight attendant still in the airport, Sylvie, an ex-military helicopter pilot, volunteers to assist and they take off towards Iceland. Terenzio explains that daylight is killing all living beings as it moves around the earth. Laura, a care home worker, tends to Mathieu’s wound. A passenger appears to fall ill as Ayaz disarms Terenzio. The plane closes on Keflavík International Airport, but finds it in chaos and Mathieu decides to turn back and land at RAF Kinloss, Scotland. Upon landing at the apparently deserted base, the passengers’ phones show news reports validating Terenzio’s claims. Three RAF servicemen drive up to the plane. 2 2 “Jakub” Inti Calfat and Dirk Verheye Jason George May 1, 2020 ( ) A flashback shows Jakub, a engineer, at home with his wife. The distressed passenger dies while the soldiers warn that they must fly west and follow the night. Zara disbelieves the situation and must be forced onto the plane with her sick son, Dominik, before takeoff towards Canada. Sylvie reveals to Jakub that she had intended to commit suicide after this flight due to the death of her boyfriend, whose ashes she brought along in an urn. She is then comforted and galvanized to stay on by Jakub. Internet access is restored to the plane. After reading a news story Horst hypothesizes that there has been a burst of highly ionising gamma rays from the sun. Ayaz discovers that the British soldiers were facing court martial for rape and murder in Afghanistan, and alerts Sylvie. Upon landing in Edson, Canada,[a] Mathieu sends the soldiers into town to search for a replacement radio, and they insist on Jakub and flight attendant Gabrielle accompanying them. Jakub attempts to lock the soldiers in a storeroom and return to the plane with Gabrielle, but leaves her behind as she mistakes Jakub’s actions as being malevolent and refuses to leave with him. The plane takes off with Jakub aboard as the soldiers chase it down the runway, shooting and cracking a window. 3 3 “Mathieu” Inti Calfat and Dirk Verheye Jason George May 1, 2020 ( )

In a flashback, Mathieu is shown to be unfaithful to his wife. Terenzio demands Mathieu stop making unilateral decisions as others defend the captain. An American pilot on the radio talks of a safe haven in Hawaii. Rik joins the calls for democracy onboard. Electronic malfunctions lead Mathieu to suspect one of the soldiers is stowed away in the landing gear. In response he moves to a higher altitude, but must descend again after the damaged window blows out. Ayaz, Terenzio and Jakub descend towards the undercarriage and Ayaz saves Terenzio by killing the soldier. Laura persuades Mathieu to fly lower than ideal for the benefit of Dominik. Osman, an airline employee, reveals that Ayaz cut a bag of gemstones out of the stomach of the first deceased passenger as he was buried. He admits he paid the man to smuggle the stones. The passengers discuss Ayaz’s culpability for the death and he is handcuffed in the avionics bay. 4 4 “Ayaz” Inti Calfat and Dirk Verheye Jason George May 1, 2020 ( )

In a flashback, Ayaz brutally beats a man threatening to sue him over the conduct of one of his prostitutes. Upon landing in Alaska, the group holds an impromptu trial of Ayaz, during which Terenzio defended him, and decides he may remain as a passenger on the flight back to Brussels after Terenzio reveals the rumored existence of a NATO shelter. Horst suggests that the solar radiation has rendered fresh food not only tasteless but also nutritionally worthless. Mathieu confesses to Sylvie an affair with the flight attendant left behind in Brussels. Mathieu appears to suffer a breakdown and is removed from the cockpit to rest. A cryptic transmission from a Russian cosmonaut is heard over the radio. Ines discovers that the Hawaii safe haven was never completed and is not a viable option for survival. Mathieu collapses in the toilet and Laura concludes his wound has gone septic, expressing an urgent need to amputate the infected tissue. Sylvie lands the plane in Brussels with only the instructions of a YouTube video read by Jakub. Horst hypothesizes that the radiation has also rendered the jet fuel they refueled with in Alaska, and likely any future jet fuel they find, largely unusable. 5 5 “Rik” Inti Calfat and Dirk Verheye Jason George May 1, 2020 ( )

A flashback shows Rik conversing with a Russian online dating scam artist in joyful naivety. Jakub and Osman locate unaffected fuel for a few hundred miles of flight and refill the aircraft’s tanks. Laura, Horst and Zara take Mathieu and Dominik to a nearby hospital in order to operate on the captain and gather medical supplies. Laura successfully amputates Mathieu’s infected tissue. Dominik is startled by an animal that has survived the disaster. Meanwhile, Terenzio, Ayaz and Rik enter NATO headquarters to find more information on the shelter. While Rik discovers the approximate coordinates of a bunker under a dam in Bulgaria by reviewing CCTV records, Terenzio and Ayaz come to blows in the conference room after Terenzio makes an ethnic slur. Terenzio leaves Ayaz for dead, which was seen by Rik, claiming to the others that Ayaz decided to make his own way back to the plane. Sylvie visits her home, where she intends to die next to her boyfriend’s ashes, but is persuaded to return by Jakub after they share a confused kiss. As the plane prepares for takeoff to Bulgaria, a badly injured Ayaz drives onto the runway. 6 6 “Terenzio” Inti Calfat and Dirk Verheye Jason George May 1, 2020 ( ) Terenzio wakes handcuffed in the avionics bay, where he has been banished by the passengers. Rik reconciles with Ayaz over leaving him in the NATO headquarters. The passengers discuss the time pressure they will face upon landing in Bulgaria, and decide to take Terenzio with them. Upon landing, they race to the bunker in two Jeeps. The first group arrives at the compound and finds the gate must be held open for the second Jeep. Terenzio volunteers to stay behind seeking redemption while the others search for the bunker. Sylvie handcuffs him to the gate controls to ensure his word is kept, intending for him to be freed by the second group when they come through. Ayaz, suffering from a head injury in the fight with Terenzio, crashes the Jeep and the group proceeds on foot. They take a wrong turn and reach a different gate. The first group finds the bunker entrance and break it open, descending the tunnel inside while Sylvie waits for the others, who arrive shortly. Unable to free himself from the handcuffs, Terenzio watches the sun rise and succumbs to its rays. The second group find Sylvie and enter the bunker together. They are met by the commanding officer, who tells Sylvie the problem of the sun can be solved with their help.
