Felix Brewer's new camcorder shows him way more than he expected-glimpses of a haunting, oddly beautiful, and sometimes nightmarish world living in symbiosis with ours. At first feeling alone in his visions, Felix comes to rely on a few strangers who seem to know what he's seeing-with their own histories with these normally invisible mysteries. Felix will need their help to survive the monstrous creatures that discover he can see them. Has Felix stumbled upon a disturbing world no one else can see, or is he barreling toward a tragic end through a haze of inherited insanity?

While on a corporate research mission, deep under the oceanic outer crusts of Europa, a structure of bizarre design is discovered, its purposes unknown. But what starts as an excursion in scientific discovery quickly dissolves to the stuff of nightmares as something else quickly rises from the depths, something intent on consumption. A small group of survivors is forced to set differences aside as they enter into the race for their lives, trapped within the depths of a submerged facility, enclosed by the terrifying darkness of alien night. While they desperately flee upwards towards the surface and their only salvation, their inevitable end seeks to draw them back down into infinite darkness.
