the film opens in miami beach as dan forester and a number of other soldiers fall from the
sky amidst a devastated landscape dan lands in a pool alongside other people who continue falling
jump back 28 years earlier to december 2022 dan is a biology teacher who lives with his wife emmy
and daughter murray at a christmas party dan is waiting to hear back about a job at a research
institute he gets a phone call informing him that they have picked someone else for the position
as he goes back inside to watch the world cup with his family the arena suddenly has some kind
of wormhole open up with several soldiers from the future coming out before the confused viewers
a female soldier lieutenant hart announces to everyone that in 30 years time from that moment
humanity will be wiped from the face of the earth due to an overwhelming alien invasion
the hope is to recruit anybody they can to jump to the future and prevent humanity's extinction
a year later riots and anti-war protests have gone on as the draft has been happening
since the initial announcement and there have been more casualties than anything hope for the future
continues to dwindle even dance students can focus on their work because they feel that everyone is
just going to die anyway dan is later called to report for a draft after undergoing evaluation he
learns that he meets the qualifications because he has already died between the present and the time
leading up to the invasion he has a device placed onto his arm that will aid him in time jumping
it is also revealed the dan was a squad leader in iraq 15 years earlier given 24 hours to settle his
affairs dan goes to emmy's job where she works as a therapist for people who returned from the draft
emmy tells dan that there is one person who can help get the family to safety but it is
to anza's strange father james whom here is sans for abandoning him and his mother a long time ago
dan visits james who doesn't trust the government and has gone off grid before dan can ask for help
james says he has never wanted his help which infuriates dan because that's the only thing
he ever wanted from him although james says that he would have only made things worse for dan and
his mother dan returns home to emmy and murray having to inform them that he has been drafted
the two are heartbroken and hugged and goodbye dan reports to the draft where he meets other people
like charlie dorian nora and callum the draftees are told about the process of time jumping
and the plan for their mission charlie tells dan that they send people who have died before the
war to avoid a paradox while also noting that dorian jumped back after killing an alien which
they refer to as white spikes without any time to prepare the draftees are alerted to pass through
the jump link into the future where they will end up on miami beach things go wrong because the
draftees are dropped way higher than the plan was causing several to fall to their deaths while dan
and others land in the water after getting out dan reports to the romeo command who is the colonel
who informs the team that the military has issued a blanket bombardment on the area to wipe out any
living things she tells the team to rescue lab personnel before the bombs are dropped the team
moves forward into the facility where they find the lab crew dead but they recover their research
soon the team comes face to face with the white spikes who are fast and deadly with
whip-like tails dan and his crew manage to kill some white spikes as they are on but khan falls
through a tunnel and dan attempts to help him the white spikes are closing in so nora and cowan
stay behind to hold off as many as possible just before the military drops the bombs on the tunnel
killing nora cowan and the white spikes the surviving draftees wake up at a camp in the
dominican republic dan meets the colonel who turns out to be an adult murie she has some
estrangement for dan for going through with the draft she tells dan that her team has located a
female white spike whose physiology may be key in taking down the rest of the hive the team
comes across the cave containing the female but dozens of male white spikes start coming down
some get shredded by chopper blades while the soldiers continue to fight them off
the team manages to cage the female albeit with dan nearly compromising the mission to save murie
she reprimands him and then reveals to him that he died seven years after the draft in a car accident
and muri witnessed his final moments all of this being after he returned from the draft and
became disillusioned and left his family hence her estrangement toward him the team brings the female
back to an oil rig where the jump link is so that they can produce a toxin from the female's blood
that will wipe out all the white spikes soon many more aliens overrun the base and attack
leading to another ferocious battle the time in the jump link is about to expire and the female
white spike breaks free the female attacks and causes the bridge to collapse with murray on there
although dan tries to save her she lets go so that she and the female can die
while dan and the surviving draftees return to their present year upon returning dan tries
desperately to go back an attempt to save neri but it is fuel as the jump link is now offline making
the jump back impossible he has also managed to hold on to the toxin as they were unable to pry
it from his hands dan returns home while talking to emmy he tells her that he met murie as an adult
and worked with her emmy suggests that the aliens didn't arrive in 2048 when the invasion began
but that they may have been there much earlier dan then goes to a bar where he finds dorian who tells
him that he has terminal cancer dan asks him about a white spike claw that he kept as a souvenir
and they discover ash on it that came from russia dan asks one of his students about info regarding
volcanic ash leading to all of them deducing that the white spikes have already been on earth this
whole time and were thought out by global warming dan charlie and dorian attempt to get help from
a government higher up to allow them to take on a mission to russia but he denies them dan then goes
to james for help and they along with the other soldiers make it to russia and discover the site
of the frozen white spikes it turns out that the ship they came in on was not theirs but rather
to a different species that was carrying the white spikes as cargo to eliminate other planets
they proceed to inject the toxin into the white spikes but the aliens wake up and begin to
attack after an intense battle dorian sacrifices himself to obliterate the white spikes with a bomb
unfortunately the female white spike remains and she goes after dan and james
they attempt to inject her with the poison but she bites her arm off to prevent it from spreading
after beating it further dan shoves the toxin into the female's throat
and knocks her off a cliff where she splatters officially ending all the white spikes for good
news about the wars prevention spreads with the higher-ups from earlier taking credit for dan
and the others making the trip dan reunites with emmy and murray and he introduces murray to james
