A disgraced journalist (Lily Sullivan) tries to salvage her career by turning to investigative podcasting. While trying to get to the bottom of a strange artefact that may be linked to an alien conspiracy, she begins to uncover the lies at the heart of her own story.

This incredibly tense chamber piece touches on notions of journalistic integrity and personal privilege, and features a towering performance from Lily Sullivan as the film’s only on-screen character. While the film is certainly a lo-fi piece of science-fiction, this is sci-fi at its most tense and terrifying too.
