A claustrophobic deep-sea thriller about scientists trapped with an incomprehensible alien intelligence, where paranoia and psychological breakdown become as dangerous as the unknown itself.

A spacecraft is discovered at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, presumed to be at least 300 years old and of alien origin. A crack team of scientists and experts is assembled and taken to the ocean floor to investigate. However, the ship is not as it seems and when a giant perfect sphere is discovered in the cargo bay, things begin to fall apart.
