A paranoia-soaked slow-burn survival thriller about an astronaut isolated in a secure facility, haunted by an unseen cosmic threat and her own fractured sense of reality.

After returning from her first space mission, astronaut Sam Walker is placed under NASA’s care at a high security house for rehabilitation and medical testing. However, when disturbing occurrences begin happening around the property, she fears that something extraterrestrial has followed her back to Earth
