A claustrophobic sci-fi thriller about five trapped strangers discovering they're fuel for an alien intelligence, built on paranoia and psychological dread.

Five strangers awaken to find themselves trapped aboard an alien spaceship that seems to be harnessing their terror to power the ship. They begin to understand that these species have been abducting humans for decades and possibly centuries.
