After a night of partying, a stoned wannabe streamer wakes up convinced he has contacted something beyond Earth and sets out to build a mysterious device he believes will save humanity.

The film is influenced by the anthology series like Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, and The Outer Limits. It tangles with the ideas of belief and delusion and how they can effect ones life in the social media age.

Inspired by a late friend who would make extraordinary claims with complete sincerity. Writer/Director Michel Kennedy wants the audience to contemplate how they may act if they were certain the fate of the world was in their hands.
