A claustrophobic sci-fi horror thriller where a rescue mission becomes a desperate fight for survival against both cosmic catastrophe and a mutating alien threat.

Set in the 22nd century, when a battered salvage ship sends out a distress signal, the seasoned crew of the rescue hospital ship Nova-17 responds. What they find is a black hole--that threatens to destroy both ships--and a mysterious survivor whose body quickly mutates into a monstrous and deadly form.
