Fionn O'Shea (House of Guinness, Normal People) and Jessica Barden (Dune: Prophecy, The End of the F***ing World) star in this family action-adventure about a 15-year-old boy who believes he can save his terminally-ill brother with an ancient, sentient plant he’s unearthed in the garden centre where he works. The problem is, there's a shadowy government agency out to destroy it first.
