During a mission to reach a habitable planet for humans, the crew of a space ship receives a radio transmission that guides them to a nearby planet. But their hopes to find a home in that planet are quickly dashed when they encounter an alien species out of their darkest nightmares.
As they travel to a distant planet on the other side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discover what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark and dangerous world, inhabited by only David (Michael Fassbender), the only survivor of Prometheus.
