Synopsis: A young woman who is involved in a tragic accident after a mysterious, newly discovered planet appears in the sky—another Earth. In the wake of the crash, Rhoda causes the death of a family and is sentenced to prison for her role. Upon being released, she struggles with guilt and attempts to find redemption. The parallel Earth becomes a symbol of her internal journey as she discovers that this new planet is a mirror image of her own. When Rhoda reaches out to the surviving member of the family she hurt, a man grieving the loss of his wife and child, she begins to develop an unexpected bond with him, leading to an emotional and complex relationship. As Rhoda learns more about the parallel Earth, she becomes obsessed with the idea of meeting her counterpart, wondering if a version of herself on the other Earth might have made different choices.
