Wikipedia Plot...
The Enterprise crew attempt to deliver a nuclear-powered AP350 air filter to a Federation colony, but find many of the colonists dead. Security chief La'an Noonien-Singh helps evacuate the survivors and recognizes that this is a Gorn trap; she is the only survivor of a Gorn attack in her childhood. A Gorn ship attacks, doing significant damage to Enterprise, with M'Benga and Chapel resorting to 21st-century medicine to treat the wounded, including Number One, when their equipment goes offline. They lure the Gorn ship into the atmosphere of a brown dwarf near a black hole, where both ships' sensors and shields are useless. Spock is able to track the Gorn ship and they destroy it, but three more Gorn ships arrive. One is crushed by the pressure of the brown dwarf's atmosphere. Spock mind melds with Noonien-Singh to learn about the Gorn's communication system, and they use this to trick one ship to fire on the other. Enterprise then warps around the black hole, temporarily disappearing from view, and ejects the destabilizing AP350 which explodes and convinces the remaining Gorn ship that Enterprise is destroyed.

Wiki Cast
Anson Mount as Christopher Pike: captain of the USS Enterprise. The writers took Mount's own leadership style as inspiration for the character. Co-showrunner Akiva Goldsman explained that Mount liked to find consensus within a group, and so a table was added to Pike's quarters where he could convene the crew and cook for them.
Ethan Peck as Spock: science officer aboard the Enterprise
Jess Bush as Christine Chapel: a civilian nurse on the Enterprise. Co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers felt the character's portrayal in The Original Series came from a "very different conception of women and of marriage and what people would do in their jobs" that present-day audiences would not expect, and sought to tell new stories with a character inspired by Bush's strengths.
Christina Chong as La'an Noonien-Singh: the Enterprise's newly assigned chief of security and a relative of Ricardo Montalbán's Star Trek villain Khan Noonien Singh
Celia Rose Gooding as Nyota Uhura: a cadet on the Enterprise specializing in linguistics. Despite the character's important role throughout the Star Trek franchise, the writers felt that there was a lot still unknown about her that could be explored.
Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas: the Enterprise's helmsman. Her surname is a reference to the original Star Trek pitch which included a navigator named Jose Ortegas.
Babs Olusanmokun as M'Benga: the Enterprise's chief medical officer
Bruce Horak as Hemmer: the Enterprise's chief engineer. Hemmer is an Aenar, which are an albino subspecies of Andorians that are generally depicted as blind; Horak is blind in one eye with limited sight in the other.
Rebecca Romijn as Una Chin-Riley / Number One: first officer of the Enterprise and second-in-command to Pike
