In a dystopian future, Alana (Zoe Cunningham) is a field agent on a space station poised for a promotion. But for this she has to go into a simulation where she has a certain number of retries which first appear to be a straight-forward murder mystery. involving freightert captain Issy (Florence Russell) and her crew, one of whom, Sala (Chris Charles), gets murdered. Tme and again, Alana tries to save him, and tries to find out more about his assassin in the process - until she notices she's onto something much bigger here, something that involves terrorism and espionage, and might prove that the very law enforcement agency she's working for might have their fingers much deeper in the dirt than she could have ever imagined ...

By 2026, the time loop concept of the protagonist having to relive the same situation time and again to find a way out is of course nothing new, but it's used in an original context here, that of a murder mystery that evolves into something much bigger as at first even hinted at, and the lo-fi science fiction setting really works in the context as well. Now add to that a directorial effort that keeps things gritty rather than showy (a raity in science fiction) and a very solid cast and you've got yourself a pretty cool piece of genre cinema.

Voidancewill be released across digital platforms starting in UK and Ireland on 25th May 2026, US and Canada from 26th May, and Australia and New Zealand from 27th May.
