In deep space, a research crew discovers the abandoned ship Green Planet, which suddenly warps into their sector. They encounter Buzz, the vessel’s commander and sole survivor, too weakened to explain the ship’s dire state. As they explore, the team realizes the derelict harbors a threat far more terrifying than they imagined.
