Synopsis
When meteor storms bring a new life form to earth, global authorities implement emergency controls as they move in secret to eliminate the predators. A group of five friends who are separated in different countries risk everything to survive. Do they cower in place or face their fears and head out into the world to re-find each other as they face the monster? In the tradition of DISTRICT 9 and CLOVERFIELD, a grounded sci-fi adventure intended to speak of our time and the creeping growth of authoritarianism.
