A high-stakes first-contact thriller that blends scientific inquiry with existential dread, built on paranoia and the unknowability of alien intelligence.

A computer scientist is invited by a tech billionaire to join his private facility on a Caribbean island to investigate extraterrestrial matter on Earth. When they make contact beyond our world, chaos erupts as we’re left to wonder: do they come in peace?
