Alone in an abandoned facility losing power with no signs of their abductors, they have begin to uncover hidden secrets as tensions rise. If they hope to survive, they must work together to unravel the mysteries of their surroundings.

All this happens with the remainders oblivious to an alien lurking in their midst.
