In 2077, Jack Harper, a drone technician on a desolate Earth, questions his reality after vivid dreams and discovering a survivor named Julia, who reveals humanity's relocation to Titan was a lie. Julia and human survivors explain that the alien Tet station cloned Jack and his partner Victoria to serve its agenda, leading to Victoria's demise when she reports Jack's defection. Jack and Julia retrieve a nuclear bomb and infiltrate the Tet, where Jack discovers an incubation chamber filled with his clones, confirming the Tet's deception before he sacrifices himself to destroy it. Three years later, Julia and her daughter are reunited with another Jack clone, who has found them on Earth.
