A tense, apocalyptic thriller about humanity's struggle for survival when civilization collapses into darkness and an alien presence looms.

Contact between most towns on Earth has been severed. A small ring-like area in Eastern Europe still has electricity, and maybe even life is being reported from space. What military forces find outside the ring is shocking.
