Synopsis

A group of scientists responsible for a horrific biological experiment are held in a secret prison on an asteroid. As they wait for their fate, the lead researcher reflects on the cold logic that led them to unleash an alien pathogen on a human colony. It is a claustrophobic look at the cost of progress and the minds of those who value knowledge over life.
