Inhaltsangabe

Professor Challenger summons his companions to his home in Sussex with urgent instructions to bring oxygen. He has discovered that Earth is moving into a belt of poisonous ether, a phenomenon that threatens to suffocate all life. To survive, the group seals themselves inside a single room equipped with oxygen cylinders, while the deadly conditions spread beyond their shelter. Isolated from events outside, they are forced to observe the progress of the threat and confront the possibility that their fate may be no more secure than the rest of the world.
