Plot
Dr. Annika Kask, a brilliant computer scientist known for groundbreaking work in astrophysics, is recruited by a tech billionaire to join a secret research project on a private Caribbean island. The project centers on a device called LITTLEMOUTH, created by eccentric physicist Perry Glassner, which is designed to communicate with extraterrestrial intelligence.
As the team begins receiving and transmitting signals beyond Earth, they realize they may have achieved humanity's first contact with an alien civilization. What starts as a scientific breakthrough gradually becomes a crisis as the incoming communication appears to have profound and potentially dangerous effects on the researchers and the facility itself. Questions emerge about whether the intelligence is friendly, hostile, or simply beyond human understanding.
