A spacecraft is discovered at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, presumed to be at least 300 years old and of alien origin. A crack team of scientists and experts is assembled and taken to the ocean floor to investigate. However, the ship is not as it seems and when a giant perfect sphere is discovered in the cargo bay, things begin to fall apart.
Deep-sea researchers face psychological collapse when a mysterious alien craft surfaces on the ocean floor. Once they uncover a perfect, silent orb in the cargo bay, the team's own subconscious fears begin to manifest as lethal reality.
