PlotIn the year 2022, a spaceship named Spacecore 1 experiences a mysterious malfunction while on a routine mission, leading it to drift towards the dark side of the moon. As the crew struggles to regain control, they encounter a derelict NASA shuttle from the ill-fated Apollo missions, which vanished without a trace decades earlier. The crew members' attempts to investigate the abandoned craft uncover eerie signs of a deeper, malevolent force at work. With tension rising and their oxygen supplies dwindling, they realize that the derelict shuttle is harboring secrets linked to an ancient, malevolent entity.
As they delve deeper into the abandoned shuttle and its cryptic message, crew members begin to experience inexplicable events and psychological phenomena. Paranoia and fear escalate as they encounter manifestations of this dark force, which preys on their deepest fears and insecurities. Cut off from Earth and running out of time, the spacefaring team is pushed to their limits both mentally and physically. The line between reality and hallucination blurs as they fight not just for their mission’s success, but for their very survival against an unspeakable evil that lies hidden in the shadows of the moon.
