Plot Summary:
Twenty years later, human society is in danger of extinction like never before – all humans have lost the ability to procreate, while the countries of Eastern Europe and Africa have been torn apart, with a massive migration of population to richer countries such as the United Kingdom.
Within Britain, however, people are in a state of chaos and panic.
Everyone is agitated and frantic about the end of the world.
Ken (Claire-Hope Ashitey), an African girl, has illegally immigrated to this country, but the exciting thing is that she is carrying a child in her womb.
In order to save the only human bloodline, police officer Tio (Clive Owen) and his ex-wife Julie (Julianne Moore) are determined to do whatever it takes to get Ken safely out of the country, but gunfire makes it difficult.
While on the run, a baby is born in a refugee camp.
With guns and knives at hand, preserving the last hope of humanity becomes the only belief in Tio’s heart.
