A tense, paranoid military thriller that uses isolation and mystery to build dread around an inexplicable threat and a cryptic survivor.

A special commando unit made up of 9 soldiers is sent to a military base in a moorland region after contact was lost and it was believed to have been the target of an attack. Upon arrival, they find a single mysterious survivor: a woman in chains.
