The crew members of the spaceship Covenant travel to a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy on a colonization mission. All of the members are couples, who are risking everything to form a new colony on the planet.

Once landed, they discover what seems to be a paradise, with fields of wheat. But when team leader Daniels (Katherine Waterston) notices the extreme silence of the planet, it's unnerving. There are no birds or animals — in fact, there are no signs of life at all. They discover evidence of an earlier doomed expedition. It soon becomes clear that there is something incredibly dangerous to human life on this otherwise beautiful planet.

One day, a new family moves in next door. Their teen son Olly's (Nick Robinson) bedroom window faces Maddy's window, and soon the two become friends, talking using text messages.

After a while, Maddy wants to meet Olly, who tells her stories about the outside world. It's not long before their friendship threatens her life as she decides to leave her house and live her life to the fullest.

Greg (Jason Drucker) feels that as a kid, he has no control over his own life. When his mother announces that the Heffley family is going on a road trip to attend their grandmother's birthday party, Greg's older brother Rodrick (Charlie Wright) is horrified. Greg isn't phased because he discovers that a video game convention is in Indianapolis the very weekend of the road trip and he thinks he'll be able to sneak away to attend it.

Unfortunately, it turns out to be a lot farther away than he expected. Along the way, they run into another family that causes trouble for the Heffleys and Greg's younger brother Manny wins a piglet when the family stops to visit a country fair.

Based on the ninth book in The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney.
