It stars Creator/PatrickJAdams as Dr. Isaac Bruno, a bitter, jaded astrophysicist on a quest to find extraterrestrial life while increasingly alienating his students and colleges in the process. He hires an assistant, itinerant artist Clara (Creator/TroianBellisario), and together they discover a promising exoplanet that may indeed harbor life. Clara is quite the opposite from him in terms of personality. Even so, as they work together the pair begin falling in love and Clara slowly breaks through Isaac's shell while they pursue an earth-shaking find.

* CharacterTitle The film is named for the {{deuteragonist}}.
* CynicismCatalyst: It's revealed that the source of Isaac's bitterness was his infant son dying. Though not explicit, it's implied this is why he's an atheist and sees no meaning in the universe.
* HollywoodAtheist: Isaac clearly doesn't believe in any kind of higher power, and dismisses the idea that the universe has an innate meaning or purpose. Additionally, he's quite bitter and unfriendly at first to most people. However, we don't learn if he was an atheist before or after losing his son, which later is shown to be why he's bitter.

* ManlyTears: Isaac cries in sadness mixed with joy at hearing a Music/BobDylan song he listened to with Clara sent by the aliens after she's died.
* OppositesAttract: Isaac and Clara are very much opposites in their outlook on life. Nonetheless, they fall for each other working together and get into a relationship.

* RomanticismVersusEnlightenment: Clara is spiritual, carefree and sees meaning in the universe's patterns, a positive Romantic view. Isaac is a strict materialist, uptight and insists such patterns are random, as a negative Enlightened view.

Dr. Isaac Bruno is an astrophysicist teaching at fictional Ontario University in Toronto, Canada while trying to find signs of intelligent extraterrestrial life. Embittered by a trauma in his past, he alienates his students and has misappropriated usage of telescopes located in Chile from a colleague. As a result, Isaac is suspended by the head of his department, denying him access to the university's research facilities.
He will not be dissuaded from his quest though, and as the TESS (for Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) is launched to find new data which it shared globally, Isaac is determined he'll succeed. He posts an ad for a research assistant offering only room and board in return. The only reply is a young woman named Clara, who is an itinerant artist who moves in.
