Summary:

After Galen Erso reveals he has built a new and annihilating weapon, a team is dispatched on an expedition to an island guarded by a force called the Shimmer, where the plans that might lead to the destruction of the weapon can be found.

The team consists of six people: an FBI agent so by-the-book he’s called robotic; a soldier in Army Intelligence carrying shadows and an ulterior motive; a blind linguistic anthropologist listening for a single voice; a paramedic haunted by trauma and addiction; a physicist turned whistleblower torn open with grief; and a biologist, the daughter of Erso, who thinks she is only here to save the world.

The Shimmer takes them in.

And everything they carry with them.

What returns is not the same, if it returns at all.
