In a gripping exploration of both science and psychological horror, a team of scientists investigates a mysterious spacecraft discovered deep in the Pacific Ocean. The mission begins with the involvement of the U.S. Navy, who enlist the expertise of a diverse team of scientists to delve into this enigmatic find, believed to be a vessel that crashed on Earth over 300 years ago.
Upon arrival, Navy Captain Barnes briefs the team, revealing that the spacecraft has been buried under eight yards of coral since its crash in 1709. An underlying threat looms: the possibility of extraterrestrial life inside the craft raises concerns of impending invasion. The sonar detects a low hum emanating from within, signaling that something—or someone—is still alive. The team, including psychologist Norman and mathematician Harry, cautiously prepares for contact.
As they embark on the underwater journey, interpersonal dynamics and secrets begin to surface. Norman confides in Harry that his previous research on unidentified life forms was fabricated, a revelation that adds tension to their mission. Upon reaching "the Habitat," a base set up by the Navy, the scientists are left awestruck by the spacecraft's monumental size.
When they attempt to access the airlock, the challenges multiply. Their efforts are thwarted; simple tools fail to penetrate the seemingly impervious door. But a flicker of heat suggests life inside, and just when apprehensions are at their peak, the door mysteriously opens, beckoning them inside.
Inside, the scientists are confronted with unsettling evidence. Footprints in the dust hint that they are not the first to enter. As they split into teams, a deeper sense of dread settles in. Norman and Beth discover a body frozen in time, holding an item that ties it back to American origins, and a holographic image captures a spacecraft entering a black hole—an ominous reflection of their own journey.
The team’s excitement quickly turns to horror as they unveil a massive, reflective sphere in the cargo hold, an object of intrigue that soon becomes a focal point of their investigation.
As the weeks unfold, the nature of the sphere becomes increasingly unsettling. Harry senses a strange connection, finding himself drawn to it, leading to his explosive reawakening post-sleep. The narrative unfolds with a series of mysterious deaths—first maintenance worker Fletcher succumbs to a freak accident involving jellyfish, then Barns meets a brutal end in a conflagration sparked by the entity residing within the sphere.
Norman and Beth navigate rising tensions, paranoia, and accusations among the team members. Trust erodes as they scramble to identify the root cause of their collective anxiety and unravel the mysteries posed by both the sphere and their own subconscious fears.
Realizations dawn upon them—each individual has the capacity to manifest their fears into reality. This revelation raises the stakes as Norman deduces that Harry is behind the monstrous manifestations plaguing them. A desperate plan emerges: they must sedate Harry to halt the devastation before it spirals further out of control.
However, tensions boil over when Beth, succumbing to her own fears and insecurities, locks Norman in a lab, believing him to be the conduit for their peril. In a chaotic intertwined struggle, revelations abound—the phenomenon they are facing is entwined with personal trauma, creating a psychological web that threatens to consume them.
As the situation deteriorates with an impending explosion activated by Beth's anxiety, the group's fate teeters on the brink. An urgent rush to deactivate the explosives leads them on a surreal journey through the spacecraft, only to be trapped in an infinite loop until they confront their collective fears.
The realization is profound: clarity and control arise from relinquishing their overpowering thoughts. This moment culminates in a united effort that transports them back to the safety of the mini-submersible, narrowly escaping catastrophe.
Emerging from the depths, rugged but alive, the scientists grapple with the disorienting experience that has reshaped their psyche. Beth raises a critical concern: their volatile power over manifestations could be dangerous if misused. An idea, both desperate and hopeful, emerges: if they could erase the knowledge of what they discovered, it might safeguard them and others from the chaos that unfolded.
With unity, they contemplate the power of forgetting. As they hold hands and project their intentions into the cosmos, the sphere answers their call, soaring into the sky, perhaps to be lost to time, yet leaving them with a blank slate—a second chance.
As they wake up and release each other's hands, a sense of confusion mingles with relief. The chilling ordeal beneath the waves leaves them haunted yet hopeful—a testament to the enduring struggle between knowledge, fear, and the unknown.
