With nearly all other areas of Earth cut off and presumed dead, this small population faces the unknown as they try to survive and understand the cause of the catastrophe.

As military forces investigate, they discover a new and terrifying threat: an alien presence that may have triggered the blackout to pave the way for an invasion. These highly advanced and hostile aliens, capable of mind control, challenge humanity’s last defenders. The survivors, including soldiers and civilians, band together to uncover the mystery and defend their territory against seemingly unstoppable extraterrestrial forces.

The film explores humanity’s determination to survive against powerful odds, offering intense battles and suspenseful encounters with an advanced alien adversary.
