TRIESTE SCIENCE+FICTION PRESENTATION - INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE - From Brian Hanson, director of THE BLACK STRING, starring horror icons Tobin Bell and Tony Todd, comes an alien invasion with a stark difference! When mysterious intergalactic ships appear in the sky, government scientist Dr. Michelle Reilly (a compelling performance from Chelsea Edmundson, star of ARMY OF THE DEAD) is assigned a crucial role in the ET research and sealed in an underground bunker. There, she must create a bio-weapon to stop the unknown visitors before they can take over the Earth. But paranoia and isolation cause her to question the true intention of her mission with devastating consequences.
