Where is Will’s brain?
After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Will (Alex Sharp) rents a peaceful beachside cottage to live out his remaining months. But it turns out Will has more longevity ahead once the Staircase Project comes calling. He agrees to donate his disembodied (but still-living) brain to science; it’ll be the main attraction aboard a recon probe that aims to intercept the San-Ti’s fleet earthbound ships. All goes according to plan until the probe malfunctions and veers off its carefully plotted trajectory, sending Will’s brain to wander endlessly through space. It’s devastating… but maybe it’s also preferable to being experimented on by aliens?
